A dospalch from \Vashington says: â€"-Rev. Dr. Tulmage preached Irdm the following text: “Thou. therefore, endure hardness "â€"2 Tim. ii. 3. In this roll, in the first. place, I find all the heroes of the sick-room. When Satan had failed to overcome Job, he said to God, "But forth thy hand and touch his bones and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face." Satan has found out what we have all found. out, that sickness is the greatest test of one’s charac- ter. A man who can stand that can stand anything; to be {shut up in a room do last as though it were a bastile; to be so ner- vous you cannot endure the tap of a child's, foot; to have luxuriant fruit which tempts the appetite of the robust and the healthy, excite our loathing and disgust when it first appears on the platter; to have the rapier of ;pain strike through the side or acress the temple, like a razor, or to put the foot into a vice, or to throw the whole body into a blaze of a lever. Yet there have been men and women, but more wo- men than men, who have cheerfully endured this hardness. Through years of exhausting rheumatisms and excruciating neuralgias they have gone, and through bodily dis- tresses that rasped the nerves‘ and tore the muscles, and paled the cheeks. and stooped the shoulders. By the dim light of the sickâ€"room taper they saw on their Wall the picture of that land where the people are never sick. Through the dead silence of the night they heard THE CHORUS 01“ THE ANGELS. The cancer ate away her life from week to week and month to month. and she became weaker and weaker, and every “good night” was feebler than the “good night" beforeâ€"yet never sad. The children looked up into her face and saw suffering trans- formed into a heavenly smile. Those who suffered on the battle-field, amid shot and shell were not so much heroes and heroines as those who in the asylum had fevers which no ice could cool and no surgery could cure. No shout of comrade to cheer them. but numbness, and aching, and homesicknessâ€"yot willing to cutter. confident in God. hopeful of heaven. Heroes of rheumatism; heroes . of neuralgia; heroes of spinal com- plaints; heroes of sick headache; he- roes of lifelong invalidism; heroes and heroines. They shall reign for- ever :tnd forever. Hark! I catch just one note of the eternztl anthem; "There shall be no more 'pain." Bless God for that. they who faced no guns. blew no bugle-blast, conquered no cities, chained no captives to their chariot wheels. and yet, in the great day Of eternity, will stand higher than those whose names startled the na- tions; and scruph, and rapt spirit, and archangel will tell their deeds to a listening universe. I mean the heroes of common, everyday life. In this roll I also find the heroes who have uncempluiningly endured domestic injustice. There are men who for their toil and anxiziy have no sympathy in their homes. 12‘);â€" huusting application to business gets them :1 livelihood. but: an unirugul wife scatters it. He is fretted at. from the moment he enters the door until he comes out of it. The exas- perations of business life augmented by the cxusperations of domestic life. Such men are laughed at, but they have a heart-breaking trouble, and they would have long ago gone into appalling dissipations but for the grace of God. Society to-day is strewn with the wrecks of glen who under the northeast storm of domes- tic intelicity have been . DRIVEN ON THE ROCKS.
