It must have been ono of tho worst kind ot carbuncles, a toil without any ecu tral core and sometimes deathfuL A fig was put upon it as a poultice Hezokiali did not want to die then. His son. who was to take the king dom, had not yet been born, and Hozokiah's death would have been tho death of tho nation. So he prayd for recovery and is told he will get well. But ho wants somo miraculous sign to make him sure of it. Ho has tlio thoictf of having tlio shadow on the sundial of Ahaz advance or rotreat Ho l-eplied it would not lw so wonder fv.l to havo tho sun go down, for it al ways does go down sooner or later. Ho asks that it go backward. In other words, lot tho day, instead of going on toward sundown, turn and go toward sunrise. I see tho invalid king bolstered up and wrapped in blankets looking oul of tho window tion tho sundial in the courtyard. Whilo ho watches tho shadow on tho dial tlio shadow begins to retreat.. Instead of going oil toward six o'clock in tho oveningit goes back towaitl six o'clock in the morning. Tlio fig poultico had been drawing for some time, and, sure enough, tho Iwil broke and Hezekiah got well. Now I expect you will come on with your higher criticism and try to explain this away and say it was an optical delusion of Hezo kiali. und the shadow only seemed to ro back or a cloud came over and It was uncertain which way tho shadow did iro. and us Hezekiah expected it to go buck he took the action of his own mind tir the retrogrado move ment. No; the shadow went buck on all the dials of thut land and other lands. Turn t H Chronicles xxxii, 31. nnd find that nway 6ff In Babylon tlio mighty men of tho palace noticed the same phenomenon. And if you do not like Biblo authority turn over your copy of Herodotus and find that away off in Egypt tho peoplo noticed that there was something tho irtatter with tho sun. Tlio fact Is that the whole univeif 0 waits upon Qod. and 1 suns and moons and stars aro not vnry big things to him, and ho can w it'h his little linger turn back un entire world as easily as you could it buck tho hour hand or mlnuto hand of your clock or watch. At the opening of a now year jieo ple aro moralizing on tho flight of time. You all feel that you aro moving on toward sundown nnd many of you urn under a consequent depression. I propose this morning toBottho hands on your watches and clocks to going the othor way. I proiioso to show yon how you may mako tho shadow of your dial, liko tho shadow on tho dial of Alma, to stop going forward and mako it go backward. You think I have a big undertaking oh hand, but it can le done, if tho sanio Lord who reversed tho shadow in nezo kiah's courtyard moves upon us. WJiilo looking at tho sundial of Ilozukiuh, and wo find the shadow retreating, wo ought to learn that God controls tho Bhudows. Wo aro all ready to acknowledge his manage ment of tho sunshine. Wo stand in the glow of a bright morning, and wo say in our feelings, if not with so many werds: "This Hfo Is from God. This warmth Is from God." Or wo havo a rush of prosperity, and wo say: "Those successes aro from God. What a nrovidontial tiling it was I bought that lot just boforo tho rio of rail estatol How grateful to God I am that I made that investment I Why, they hnvodoclurod ton percent dividend I What a mercy it was Unit I sold out my shnros boforo thut col lup.se 1" Oh, yes, we ucknowkxlgo God in tlio sunshlno of u bright dny or tho Hunshino of n grout prosperity. But suppose tlio day is dark! You havo to light tho gas at noon. Tho sun does not show hlmsolf all day long. Thoro la nothing but Bhadow. How slow wo aro to realize that tho storm Is from Ood and tho darkness from God und tho chill from God. Or wo buy the day boforo tho markot's ro treat, or wo ninko un Investment Unit never pays, or wo purchase goods that wo cannot dlsposo of, or n crop of grain wo Bowed is ruined by drought or freshet, or whou wo took ncocmut of stock on tho first of Jan uary wo found ourselves thousands of dollars worsootY than wo expected. Who under such circumstances Bays; "This loss Is from God. I must huvo boon allowed to go into that unfor tunate enterpriso for somo good rea son i Gtxl controls tho east wind as well as tho west wind." A I.KSSON TO l-EAH.N. My frlouds, 1 cannot look for ono moment ou that rotrogado shallow on Ahax's dial without learning that God controls tho shadows and that liwuin wo need all to learn. That ho controls tho sunshlno is not so neces sary a lesson, for anybody cuu bo happy when things go right. Whoa you sloop eight hours n night and rise with nn tipixrtito that cannot easily wait for breakfast, and you go over to tho storo and okiii your mall to read more orders than yon can fill, nnd in tho next letter you Ami n dividend far larger than you havo been prom Uod. and yournoighior comes In to tell you somo flattering thing ho has just heard Mid about you. and yon find thut all the Mylesof goods in wliK-h you deal havo ud valued fiftH)n iK-rvont in vuHuv nnd on ymtr war home you meet your i-luld.vu in full romp, and thoro aro roso on thocoa tor of tho tea table and roei of health to checkjW round ttw table, wtut moro do you want of consolation? I don't pity you a bit Yon feel as If you could bsiss the world. But for those in just opposite circuinstoncos my text comes in with nu omnipo tence of meaning. Tlio shadow ! Oh, tho shadow I Shadow of bereave ment i Shadow of sickness! Shadow of lankruptcy! Shadow "of mental Shadow of death I Srak out O sun dial of Ahaz, and tell ull tlio people that God manages tho shadow ! I As Hezekiah sat in his aIaco win dow, wrapped in invalidism and sur rounded by anodynes and cata plasms, nud looked out upon the black hand of the only clock known at that time and saw it move back ten degrees, ho learned a lesson that a majority of the human race need this hour to learn -that tlio best friend a man over had controls tho shadow.' The setbacks are some times the best tilings that can hap pen. The great German uuthor Schiller could not work unless he had in his room the scent of rotten apples, and the decay of tho fi-uits of earthly prosperity may become an inspira tion instead of a depression. Robert Chambers' lame feet shut him up from other work, and he became tho world renowned publisher and helped fashion tho best literature of tho ages. Tho painful disorder liko that of Hezekiah called a carbuncle, is spelled exactly tho same as the pro cious stono called tho carbuncle, and the pang of suffering may become tho jewel of immortal value. Your setback, liko that of Alias's sundial, may be recovery and triumph. I never had a setback but it turned out to bo a sot forward. You never would have become a Christian if you had not had n setback. Tho young wo have in our essays had much to say about what has been ac complished by tlio young; of Romu lus, who founded Rome when he was twenty years of age; of Cortes, who liad conquered Mexico at thirty years; of Pitt, who wan primo min ister of Lngland at twonty-four years-, of Raphael, who diad at thirty-soven years; of Cnlvti. who Wrote his lnstitutesat twenty -six; of Melanctlfon, who took a learned pro fessor's chair nt twenty-one years : of Luther, who hail conquered (fonnnny for tho Reformation by tho time ho was thirty-five years. And it is all very well for us to u-ansixji .ui,$ " " ... 1-11 heiKhts of the soul and illumines ah the depths of the soul and whelms Washingtofi. ovr the Sierra ISe vadas and mid-Atlantic, the morn ing after a departed storm when the billows were liqmd Alps and liquid Sierra Nevadas, but .10 sunrise of tho soul is more effuhcent and moro i k: u 1 Lithes all the all tho faculties, all the aspirauou, all the ambitions, all tho hopes with a light that sickness cannot eclipse or death extinguish or eternity do anything but augment and magnify. I preach tho sunrise. As I look at tiiat reiTogrnuu u.. ent of tho shadow on Ahaz's dial, I uiai show how tfarly in Iifo one can do ' ment verv erreat thintrs for God nnd tlio I mmmnW that it was a Bign wolfare of tho world, but somo of thai Hezekiah was going to get well, and mightiest work for God has been ho cot well. So I have to tell all you done by septuagenarians and octo genarians and nonagenarians. In highest thrones in heaven aro for the setbacks. In 1801 the shadow of tho sundial of this nntion was set back and all tilings seemed going to ruin, and it was set back farther in 1802, and farther in 1863. and Btill further in 1805, but there Is not nn intelligent and well balanced man, north or south, east or west but feels it was sot Uiek toward tho sunrise. TUHN THE SHADOWS HACK. But 1 promised to show you how tlio shadows might bo turned back. Firnt. by going much among the young peoplo. In most family circles there aro grandchildren. By this di vino arrangement most of tho ieoplo who havo passed tho meridian of life can compass themselves by juvenil ity. It is a bad thing for an old man or old woman to sit looking at the vivacity of their grandchildren shout ing, "Stop that racket!" Botter join hi tho fun. Lot tho eighty-year-old grandfather join the eight-year-young graudfon or granddaughter. My father and mother lived to bco over eighty children und grandchil dren nnd grent-grandchildron, und n moro boisterous crow wero nover turned out on this sublunary sphoro, and they ull teemed to cry to tho old folks "Keep young." and they did keep young. Don't walk with a cano unless you hnvo to. or only as defense in a city afflicted with too manj' canines. Don't wear glasses stronger than necessary, putting on munbor tens when eighteons will do as well. Don't go Into tho company of those who are always talking about rheuma tism and lumbago and shortness of breath and tho brevity of human life. It is too much for my gravity to hear tui octogenarian talking about tho shortness of human life. From all 1 can find out ho bus always been hero, and from present prospects he is id ways going to stay. Remain young. Hang up your stockings in Christmas time. Help tlio boys lly tlio kite. Touch the girls how to dress tholr dolls. Bettor than arnica for your stiff joints and catnip tea Tor your sleep less nights will bo a huge doso of youthful companionship, TUB WOUI.O IS (lltOWINO IlhTTKlU Sot back the clock of human life. Make tho shadow of tho sundial of Ahaz retreat ton dogrecU People make thomselves old by uhvuys talk ing about being old and wishing for tho good old days which wero novor as good oh thwo days. From nil I can hear tho grnnuVbildron mo not half as bad as tho grandparents worn Matters huvo lieon hushed up. But If you huvo over lieon in n room nd joining a room whoro some vory old people n little douf wore talking ovor old Unies you will find that this ago does not liiouoiMiluui all the young rascals. It may now lie hard to got young people up early enough in tlio morning, but their grandiwronts al ways had to lw pulled out of led. It Is wrong now to pluy mischievous tricks ou thy uasusiiecuug. but eighty years ago at school that now veuora bio man sat down on u crookid pin not accidentally placed there, and purposely drove the sleigh 1 aling par ty too near tho edge of tho embank mont that ho might s how they would look when tumbled into tho snow. And that man w ho has so little pationeo with ohilduh oxubomnco wan in olden times up to pranks ouo half of which, if praetlciHl by tho eight-year-old of today, would sot grandfather and gnuidmothor crazy. Rovivo your romembmiiiv of what you wore Iwtweon five and ton years of ago, nnd with pntwiKV capable of everything join with tho young. Put back tho shallow of the dial not ten degrees, but fifty and sixty and sov onty degrees. Sot back your clocks also by ontor lug on now nnd absorbing CarUtian ivork. In ourdoe4ro to umpire tho deed, there is work which nono but such can do. They preserve tho1 equipoise of sonntes, of religious de nominations, of reformatory move ments. Young men for action, old men for courtsel. Instead of any of you beginning to fold up your ener gies, nrouso anew your energies. With tho experience you havo ob tained and tlio opportunities of ob servation you havo had during along life you ought to bo able to do in ono year now moro than you did in ten years right after you had passed out of your teens. Physical power less, your spiritual power ought to be more. Up to tho last hour of their lives what power for good old Dr. Archi bald Alexander, old Dr. Woods, old Dr. Ilnwes, old Dr. Milnor. old Dr. Mcllvaino. old Dr. Tyng. old Dr. Candlish. old Dr. Chalmers! What have been Bismarck to Germany, and Gladstone to England, and Oliver Wendell Holmes to America in tho time of an advanced txel Let mo say to those in the afternoon of life: Don't bo putting off tho harness; when God wants it off ho will take it off. Don't lie frightened out of life by tho grip, us ninny are. At tho first sneeze of an influenza many givo up all as lost. No new terror has como on tho earth. Tlio microbes as tho cause of disease were describod in tho Talmud seventeen hundred years ago as "in visible legiond of dangerous ones." Don't bo 6carcd out of life by all this talk about heart failure. That trouble has always been in tho world. That is what all tho peoplo that over passed out of this lifo havo died of heart failure. Adam had it, and all of his descendants have had it or will havo it. Do not lie watching for symptoms, or you will hnvo symptoms of every thing. Somo of you will yet dio of symptoms. Symptoms are often only what wo sometimes see in tlio country a dead owl nailed on a barn door to scare living owls. Put your trust in God. go to bed at ten o'clock, have tho window open six inches to let in tho fresh air, sleep on your right side and fear nothing. Tho old maxim was right, "Got thy spindlo nnd distaff ready, and God will send tlieo flax." TOWARD Tllli BUNfilSU. But while looking at this sundial of Ahaz and I see tho shadow of it move I notice thnt it went back to ward tho sunrise instead of forward toward tho sunset toward the morning instead of towaixl the night. That thing the world is willing now to do anil in many cases hn-i dono, Thoro hnvo a great many things been written and spoken about tho sunsot of lifo. I have said some of them myself. But my text suggests a bet tor idea. Tlio Lord who turned back that day from going toward sundown and started It toward sunriso is will ing to do tho wuno thing for all of us. Tho theologians who stick to old religions technicalities until they bo como soporifics would not call it anything but couvorsion. I call it n chnngo from going toward sundown to going toward sunrise. Thnt man who novor tines to unbuckle the clasp of ovil habit, and who keeps all the sins of tlio past and tho present freighting him, and who ignores the ono redemption made by the only Ono who could redeem if thrt man will examine tho sundial ho will find thnt tho shadow is going forward und ho is on the way to sundown. His day is on tho road to night. All tlio watches that tick, all tho clocks thnt striko, ull tlio suudglas&cs that empty themselves, all tho shad ows that move on all tho Mindinls indicate the approach of durknoss. But now, in unswor to prayer, us in my text tho change was in miswer to prayer, tho jiiuxloning I.ord re veres things nnd tlio man starts to ward Biuiriso Instead of sunsot. Ho turns the othor way. Tlio captain of salvation gives hun tho military cemmand: "Attention! Right about face 1" Ho was marching townrd in difference, inarching townrd hard ness of heart, marching toward pray orlessness, marchiug townrd sin, marching toward gloom, marching toward death. Now ho turns and marches townrd jieaco, marches toward light nud marches toward comfort and march ea toward high hope and marches toward a triumph stupendous and everlasting, toward hoauuns that over hoist and hallolujtdis that over roll. Now if that Is not the turning of tlio shadow on tho dial of Ahaz from going toward sundown to going toward sunrise, what is it 1 I havo Boon daybreak ovor Mont Blono and tho Matterhdrn, over the heights of Lebanon, over Mount CLEAN! If you would bo clean and liayo your clothes 'dono up in tho neatestand dreBsiost manner, take thorn to tho SALEM STEAM L.ilLNDKY whoro all work i dono by whito labor and in tho most prompt manner, COLONEL J, OLMSTED. Liberty Street . 7i,r. ntv in tlin rrrace of God having your day turned from decline toward night to ascent toward morning, that you aro going to get well weU of all your sins, well of all your sorrows, well of all your- earthly distresses. Sunrise I But, says some one, all that you say may be tnio, but that does not hinder tho horrors of dissolution. Why, you who aro tho Lord's are not going to dio. All that the grave gets of you as compared with your chief, your immortal nature, is as tho clippings of your finger nails as com pared with your whole body. As you run the scisuois along the edge of your thumbnail and you cut off that which Is of no use but rather a hin drance, you do not mourn over the departuro of that fragment which flies away. Death will bo only the scissoring off of that which could be of no use, and the soul has no funeral over that which would bo an awful nuisance if wo could not get rid of it. This body as it now is, what a failuro it would make of heaven if our departing 6oul had to bo burdened with it in tho next world I Whilo others there go ten thousand miles a minute wo would take about an hour to walk four miles, and whilo our neighbor immortals could seo a hundred miles wo could seo only ten miles, and tho fleetest and tlio healthiest of our bodies if seen there would mako it necessary to open in heaven an asy lum for cripples. No, no; ono of the best possible things that will happen to us will be tho sloughing off of this body when we havo no moro use for it in its pres ent Btato. When it shall como up in its resurrected form wo will bo very glad to got it back again, but not as it is now with its limitations and be dwarfmonts innumerable. Sunrise I There gball I bathe my weary soul In 66.-U of heavenly rest. And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast. SUNSHINE IN YOUR FACES. Sunriso I But not like ono of thoso mornings after you had gone to bed lato or did not sleep well, and you get up chilled and yawning, and tho morning bath is a repulsion, nnd you feel liko saying to tho morning sun shining into your window, "I do not seo what you find to smile about; your brightness is to mo a mockery." But tho inrush of tho next world will bo a morning after a sound sleep, n sleep that nothing can disturb, and you will rise, tlio sunshino in your faces, and in your first morning in heaven you will wado down into tho sea of glass mingled with fire, tho foam ou tiro with a splendor you nover saw on earth, and tho roll ing waves aro doxologies, and the rocks of that shore aro golden and tho pebbles of that beach aro pearl, and tho skies that arch tlio scene are a commingling of all tho colors that St. John saw on tho wall of heaven, tho crimson, nnd tlio bluo, and tho saffron, and tho orange, and tlio pur plo, and tho gold, and tho green, wrought ou thoso skies in shape of garlands, of banners, of ladders, of chariots, of crowns, of thrones. Whnt a sunriso I Do you not feel its warmth on your faces? fecovillo McCollum, tlio dying boy of our Sunday school, uttered what shall bo the peroration of this sormou "Throw back tho shutters nnd let tho sun inl" And so tho shndow of Ahaz's sundial turns from 6unsct to suurieo.

In the ynnl of her mother fl house bho 1ms a grave which she looka after as carefully us a mother does her only son's last resting place. Several weeks ago she asked her mamma if baby dolls died nnd what became of them Heing answered In the negative she said she was sorry, as sho would liko to have a "dead dollie " Several days Inter she sat one of her dolls on the sill and purposely allowed it to fall from the window to the ground. Poor dollies head was cracked by the drop of ten feet, and the five-year-old immediately declined it was dead. She then got some kui--ih.-.i utensils, and. unseen by any member of the family, she dug a grave along side the fence in the shade of an old apple tree. She made the grave about 15 by 4 inches, nnd the top of it about 1 inches above the surrounding ground. Twice every day since then she visits the small mound "to fix it up." Yesterday afternoon, about the time loving hands wero placing flowers and watering the plants on graves of relatives in the different cemeteries in and around the city, the little girl was arranging flowers on the doll's grave. Around the edge she placed "white lady slippers," and In the center laid a small cross of red carnations. From a uashstand she secured an oblong piece of white marble, which she stuck in the ground at the head of the grave, lifter vainly trying to make marks on It giving the doll's name, ngo at death, etc. She says she is going to have a regular graveyard, nnd will invite other little girls to bury their dead dolla it it Pittsburg Post.
