DR- TALMAGE DISCCURSES ON ITS BRILLIANT BITTERNESS. "Be Not Like Attila the Hun.†sum the Great Preacher, "But Scatter Kind- ness in Place of Selflehness. Brightness Instead of Darknessâ€â€"Extrnordlnery Character Study With Its Lessons. Washington, March 12.-â€"-Rev. Dr. Tal- mago this morning preached from the text. Revelation viii, 10, 11, “There fell a. green star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp. and it fell upon the third part of the rivers and upon the fountains of waters, and the name of the star is called Wormwood.†He said: Patrick and Lowth, Thomas Scott, Matthew Henry, Albert Barnes and some other commentators say that the star Wormwood of my text was a type of Attila, King of the Huns. He was so called because he was brilliant as a star, and, like Wormwood, he imbittered every- thing he touched. We have studied the Star of Bethlehem and the Morning Star of Revelation and the Star of Peace, but my subject calls us to gaze at the star Wormwood, and my theme might becall- cd “ Brilliant Bitterness. †A more extraordinary character history does not furnish than this man Attila, the King of the Hunt. The story goes that one day a wounded heifer came limp- ing along through the ï¬elds, and a herds- mun followed its bloody track on the grass to so where the heiier was wound- ed, and went on back farther and farther until he came to a sword fast in the earth, the point downward, as though it had dropped from the heavens, and against the edges of this sword the heifer had been cut. The herdsman pulled up that sword and presented it to Attila. Attile said that sword must have dropped from the heavens from the grasp of the god Mars, and its being given to him meant that Attila should conquer and govern the whole earth. Other mighty men have been delighted at being called liberators, or the Merciful, or the Good, but Attila. called himself and demanded that others call him “the Scourge of God.†At the head of 700,000 tmops, mounted on Cappadocian horses, he Swept every- thing, from the Adriatig to ‘the Black on the ï¬eld. 011 and on until all those who could not oppose him with arms lay prostrate on their faces in prayer, then a cloud of dust was seen in the distance, and a bishop cried, “It is the aid of God.†and all the people took up the cry, “It is the aid of God.†As the cloud of dust was blown aside the banners of re- enforcing armies marched in to help against Attila, “the Scourge of God.†The most unimportant occurrences he used as a. supernatural resource. After three months of failure to capture the city of Aquileia, when his army had given up the siege, the flight of a stork and her young from the tower of the city was taken by him as a sign that he Was to capture the city, and his army, in- Spired with the same occurrence. resumed the siege and took the walls at a. point from which. the stork had emerged. So brilliant was the conqueror in attire that his enemies could not look at him, but shaded their eyes or turned their heads. Slain on the evening of his marriage by his bride, Ildioo, who was hired for the assassination, his followers bewailed him not with tears, but with blood, cut- ting themselves with knives and lances. He was put into three coffins, the ï¬rst of iron, the second of silver and the third of gold. He was buried by night, and into his grave Were poured the most valuable coins and precious stones, amounting to the wealth of a kingdom. The grave- diggers and all those who assisted at the burial were massacred, so that it would never be known where so much wealth Was entombed.

He was right in calling himself a scourge, but instead of being “the Scourge of God†he was the scourge of hell. Because of his brilliancy and bitterness the commentators might well have sup- posed him to be the star Wormwood of the text. As the regions he devastated were parts most opulent with fountains and streams and rivers, you see how graphic my text is: “There fell a great star from hezWen, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of L1.

Do you use that splendid faculty ’00 irra‘diate the world or to rankle it? I bless all the apostolic college Of humorists. The man that makes me 111811 is my benefactor. I do not think anybody to make me cry. I can do that without any aSSistance. We all cry enough and have enough to cry about. God bless all skillful punsters, all repartccists, all propounders or ingenious conundrums. all those who mirtirfully surprise us with unusual juxtaposition of words. Thomas Hood and Charles Dickens and Sydney Smith had a divine mission, and so have their successors in these times. They stir into the acid beverage of life the sacchar- ine. They make the cup of earthly exist- ence, which is sometimes stale, eï¬â€˜er’vesce and bubble. They placate animosities. They foster longevity. They slay follies and absurdities which all the sermons of all the pulpits cannot reach. But what use are you making of your wit? Is it besmirched with profanity and unclean- ness? Do you employ it in amusement at ; physical defects for which the victims are not responsible? Are your powers of mimicry used to put religion in con- tempt? Is it a bunch of nettlesome invecâ€" tive? Is it a belt of unjust scorn? Is it fun at others’ misfortune? Is it glee at their disappointment and defeat? Is it bitterness put drop by drop into a cup? Is it like the squeezing of Artemisia. absinthium into a draft already distaste- fully pungent? Then you are the star Wormwood. Yours is the fun of a rattle- snake trying how well it can sting. It is the fun of a hawk trying how quick it can strike out the eye of a dove. But I will change this and suppose you are a star of worldly prosperity. Then you have large opportunity. You can encourage that artist by buying his picture. You can improve the ï¬elds, the stables, the highway, by introducing higher style of fowl and horse and cow and sheep. You can bless the world with pomologiml achievement in the orchard. You can advance arborieulture and arrest the deathful destruction of the American forests. You can ut a piece of sculpture into the niche 0 that public academy, you can endow a. college, you can stock- ing 1,000 bare feet from the winter frost, you can build a church, you can put a missionary of Christ on that foreign shore, you can help to ransom a world. A rich man with his heart rightâ€"can you tell me how much good a. James Lenox or a. George Peabody or a Peter Cooper or a William E. Dodge did while living or is doing now that he is dead? There is not a city, town or neighbor- hood that has not glorious specimens of. consecrated wealth. But suppose you grind the face of the poor. Suppose, when a man’s wages are due, you make him wait for them because he cannot help himself. Suppose that. because his family is 5101: and he has had extra expenses. he should politely ask you to raise his wages for this year, and you roughly tell him if he wants a better place to go and get it. Suppose, by your manner, you act as though he were noth- ing and you were everything. Suppose you are selï¬sh and overbearing and arro- gant. Your ï¬rst name ought to be Attila and your last name Attila because you are the star Wormwood, and you have embittered one-third if not three-thirds of the waters that roll past your employee and operatives and dependents and asso- ciates, and the long line of carriages which the undertaker orders for your funeral, in order to make the occasion respectable, will be ï¬lled with twice as many dry, tearless eyes as there are per~ sons occupying them. You will be in this world but a few minutes. As compared with eternity, the stay of the longest life on earth is not more than a minute. What are we doing with that minute? Are we embittering the domestic or social or political fountains, or are we like Moses, who when the Israelites in the Wilderness complained that the waters of Lake Marah were bitter and they could not drink them their leader cut off the branch of a certain tree and threw that branch into the water. and it became sweet and slakcd the thirst of the suifer- ing host? Are we with a branch of the tree of life sweetening all the brackish fountains that we can touch? Dear Lord, send us all out on this mis- sion. All around us imbittered livesâ€"im- bittered by persecution, imbittered by hypercriticism, imbittered by poverty, imbittered by pain, imbittered by injus- tice, imbittered by sin. Why not go forth and sweeten them by smiles, by inspir- ing words, by benefactions, by hearty counsel, by prayer, by gospelized behav- ior? Let us remember that if we are wormwood to others we are wormwood to ourselves, and our life will be bitter and our eternity bitterer. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the only sweetening power that is sufficient. It sweetens the disposition; it sweetens the manners; it sweetens life; it sweetens mysterious providence; it sweefens afflictions; it sweetcns death; it sweetens everything. I have heard people asked in social com- pany. “If you could have three wishes gratiï¬ed, what would your three wishes --- _~A_“_ T be?†If I could have three wishes met, I tell you what they would be. First, more of the grace of God; second, more of the grace of God; third, more of the grace of God. ‘1‘-- In the dooryard of my brother John, once missionary in Amoy, China, there was a. tree called the emperor tree, the two chamcteristics of which are that it always grown higher than its surround- ings, and its leaves take the form of a crown. If this emperor tree be planted beside a roscb'ush, it grows a little higher than the bush and spreads out above it a crown. If it be planted b the {side of another tree, it grows a ittle higher than that tree and spreads above it a Uuu uuuu â€" crown. Would God that this religion of Christ, 3 more wonderful emperor tree, might overshadow all your lives! Are you lowly in ambition or circumstance, putting over you its crown? Are you high in talent and pdsitio'n, putting ov‘cr you its crown?

What plowshare upturned the gardens? What army shattered the brazen gates? What long, ï¬erce blast of storm put out this light which illuminated the World? What crash of discord drove down the music that poured from palace Window and garden grove and called the ban- queters to their revel and the dancers to their feet? I walk upon the scene of desolation to ï¬nd an answer and pick up pieces of bitumen and brick and broken pottery, the remains of Babylon. I hear the Wild waves saying, “Babylon was proud, Babylon was impure, Babylon was a star, but by sin she turned to wormwood and has fallen.†I pray that our nation may not copy the crimes of nations that have perished; that our cu of blessing turn not to wormwood d we go down. I am by nature and by grace an optimist, and I expect that this country will continue to advance until the world shall reach the millennial era. Our only safety is in righteousness toward God and justice toward man. If we forget the goodness of the Lord to this land and break his Sabbaths, and improve not by the dire disasters that have again and again come to us as a people, and we learn saving lesson neither from civil War nor raging epidemic, nor drought nor mildew, nor scourge of locust and grasshopper; if the political corruption which has poisoned the fountains of public virtue and be- slimed the high places of authority, mak- ‘ ing free government at times a hissing and a byword in all the earth; if the drunkenness and licentiousness that stag- ger and blaspheme in the streets of our great cities, as though they were reaching after the fame of a Corinth and a Sodom, are not repented of, we will yet see the smoke of our nation’s ruin; the pillars of our National and State capitols will fall more disastrously than when Samson pulled down Dagon, and future histor- ians will record upon the page bedewed with generous tears the story that the :free nation of the west arose in splendor which made the world stare. It had mag- niï¬cent possibilities; it forgot God; it hated justice; it hugged its crimes ; it halted on its high march; it reeled under the blow of calamity; it fell, and as it was going down all the despotisms of i earth from the top of bloody thrones y began to shout: “Aha! So would we have it!†while struggling and oppressed peo- ples looked out from dungeon bars, with tears and groans and cries of untold agony, the scorn of those and the woe of these uniting in the exclamation: “ k yonder! There fell a great star fro hea- ven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers and upon the fountains of waters, and the name of the star is called Wormwood!†The First _Borseless Carriage. If further proof were needed of the dic- tum that “there is no new thing under the sun,†it has been supplied by an arti- ele in The Revue Seientiflque, which traces the invention of the autoear to the ingenious mechanician. Vaucanson, just 150 years ago. In a memorandum recent- ly brought to light it is recorded that Vaueanson was honored in 1748 by a visit from Louis XV. for the purpose. of inspecting a marvelous carriage that ran Without the aid of a horse or any visible means of propulsion. Two persons took their seats in the vehicle, which seems to have been as gorgeous as a sherifl's car- riage, and Were. driven round the court- yard to the satisfaction of His Majesty and the Due de Mortemart, M. de Lauâ€" zun, M. d’Avezac and other members of his suite. But. though a promise was secured of royal patronage, the Academy of Sciences declared that such a convey- ance could not be tolerated in the streets, and the scheme was nipped in the bud. The motive power was supplied by a hugh clock spring. so that only a short journey was possible, but the gear seems to have closely resembled that of the horseless carriage of to-day.-â€"London Chronicle. Use for Liqueï¬ed Air. It is reported that a use has been found for liqueï¬ed air, the possibilities of which have been matters of discussion among scientiï¬c men for some time. According to The Mining Reporter, a' dis- covery was made recently by which it is now practicable to use liquefied air in underground Work, such as mining, driv- ing tunnels and sinking shafts. It is said that under proper conditions the libera- tion of air from the liquid can be effecâ€" tive in generating DOVVUI‘ with which to run drills under ground, pumps, hoists. etc., While cool air can also be supplied in the deepest mines. The liquid air can also be used in freezing soft ground, making tunnel cutting less hazardous and tedious.

Return of an English Traveller Who Visited the Central Pigmics and Cannibals in Peace. Probably there has been no such inter- est circling around African travelleii and geographers since the time of Henry M. Stanley’s expedition as has been caused by the arrival from Central Africa the other week of Albert Bushnill Lloyd, 3. young and hitherto unknown English- man, after a journey of three months from the heart of Africa. to London, trav- elling over Stanley’s route down the Congo to the west coast. The journey {was in one respect mom remarkable than Stanley’s, inasmuch as Mr. Lloyd travelled quite alone so far a’s Europeans were concerned, and was only accompanied by two native servants and a small number of carriers. Moreover, although he marched three weeks in the pygmy forest and then traversed the Whole length of the Aruwimi River, tie banks of which are lined with warlilfg' cannibals, he never once ï¬red a shot In self-defense. On the contrary, he was an cordial terms with both pygmies and canâ€" nibals. Mr. Lloyd’s journey along the almost untrodden path from Uganda, was most hazardous. His own friends tried to dis- suade him, but he persisted, and on his arrival at the Congo the Belgians could scarcely believe that he had made the trip. _ . . 1 A On entering the great primeval forest Mr. Lloyd went west for ï¬ve days With- out the sight of a pygmy. Suddenly he became aware of their presence by mysj terious movements among the trees. which he ï¬rst attributed to the monkeys. Finally he came to a clearing and stopped at an Arab village, Where he met a. grew. number of pygmics. When I sit down at‘home to rest, Just after tea, My little girl grabs hold my vest, And climbs on me ; And it she wants to comb my hair, I can’t say no; I let her pull and rake and tear~ I love her so. “They told me,†said Mr. Lloyd, that. unknown to me, they had been watching me for ï¬ve days, peering through the growth of forests. They appeared very much frightened, and even when speak ing covered their faces. I adied a chief rr' allow me to photograph the dwarfs, and he brought a dozen together. I was able to secure a. snapshot, but did not succeed in the time exposure, as the pygmiez: would not stand still. Sometimes when I attempt to write, 01' try to read, To half a hundred questions, quite, I must give heed, And almost wish, when part I’ve heard, To bed she’d go, But still I hate to say the wordâ€" ‘ I love her so. Then. when at last she’s gone to sleep, The precious thing, And angels o’er her viglls keep, Wlth folded wing. I long to have her silence break, And hardly know How I can wait till she shall wake- I love her so. “I,tried to measure them and found not one over four feet in height. A11 Wcrr fully developed, the women somewhat slighter than the men. I was amazed :11. their sturdiness. The men have long? beards, reaching half way down the chest. They are very timid and will not look a stranger in the face, their beadlike eyes constantly shifting. They are, it struck Vvuuwâ€"uvâ€"i __V - 0 me, fairly intelligent. I had a long talk with a chief, who conversed intelligently about; their customs in the forest and the number of the tribesmeu. “Both men and women, except for a tiny strip of bark, were quite nude. The men were armed with poisoned arrows. The chief told me the tribes were noma die and never slept two nights in the same place. They just huddle together in hastily thrown up huts. Memories of a white travellerâ€"Mr. Stanley, of courseâ€"- who crossed the forest years ago, still linger among them.†. ~.- ‘ A17 QUEER AFRICAN DWARFS. Mr. Lloyd then proceeded through the cannibal countries to the coast. He found the cannibals warlike and ï¬erce. but open and straightforward, and had no difï¬culty with them. At one place he put together a bicycle he had with him and rode around their village. A remarkable scene followed, thousands of cannibal:â€" men, women and childrenâ€"turning out. dancing and yelling at What they de- scribed us “a EurOpean riding a snake.†Do not believe what people tell you of the ugliness of steam, nor join those who lament; the 01d sailing days.
