FOUNDRYIAN east of the Du!» fill orders for The Rev. Dr. Talmage Discourses Repentance. A deapa'tch from Washington says: -â€"Rev. Dr. Talmage preached (mm the following text: “Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows-.”â€"Isaiah 11. 8. When persons apply for member- ship into any society, the question is asked, “Who are they, and where do they come from 3” and as this mul- titude of people to-day present them- seives for membership, it is right that we should ask “Who are these that come as doves to their windows?” They are captives whose chains have been broken; they are soldiers who have enlisted for thirty years’ war. They are heirs of heaven. LEARN HOW TO FLY LOW. They come as doves to the windows, first, because they fly low. The eagle darts up as if to strike its beak into. the sun. There are birds that seem; to dwell under the eaves of heaven; you see them as little specks against the sky, so far off that you cannot guess the style of their plumage or the shape of their bodies. They float so far away that if the hunter’s gun be discharged at them they do noti change their course. Not so with doves or pigeons; they never take any high exursions. They fly around your roof, and alight on the fence, and seem to dislike great altitudes. So these souls, who come to Christ and to his Church toâ€"day, fly low. They ask no great things; they seek an humble place at the feet of Christ. They are not ashamed to be called beggars for mercy; they are willing to get down on their knees, and to crawl under {the table, and to pick up the crumbs of Gospel provision. There were days when they were proud and puctilious, and inexorable, and puffed up; but not now. The highest throne of earth could not tempt ery away from Jesus’s feet. Stoop, oh pacrdoned soul, if thou wouldst enter heaven. A high look and a proud heart God hates. Fly low. It is a mercy that thou canst fly at all. Remember all the years of thy sin; thy days of youthful wander- ing; thy days of manhood transgresâ€" sion; thy sinsâ€"dark, brooding, death- ful,â€"-sins against thy soul, against thy Bible, against thy God. It '13 an, offended God before whom thoucomest. Thou deservest his wrath. He scattered the one hundred and eighty-five thousand of Sennacherib’s host in a night. He will judge the nations. “Holy, holy is the Lord God Alm.ghty.” Fly low. Again: These'persons who come to- day are like doves on their way to the dove-cot, because they fly for shelter. The albatross makes a throne of the tempest; the seagulls find their grand- estirolic in thesi,01'm-â€"their meriest hour seems to be that in which the surf of the sea piles most high. Not so ‘with doves;at the lust [blow of a‘ Lnortheaster they fly to {the coop ‘ iEagle contends with eagle in midair, and vulture fights vulture on the bosom- of the carcass, but doves, at the first dash of the bird of prey,speed for shelter from fiery eye, and iron beak, and loathsome talon. So to- day these souls come here for shelter. Everyone has a besetting sin ; that sin is always after you. Wherever you go, sin goes: where you stay, sin stays. You .have watched the hawk above. the barn-yard; it sails around and around over the brood of chickens isa hawk ready to pounce on every dove, and that. is the reason that these doves come to-day .to the windowsâ€" they want shelter in the grace of God and in Christian associations. They say, "If there is any 'power in your prayers, let me have them; if there he am virtue in good counsels, give them tu me; if there be anything elevating in Christian associations, let me feel their influence.” "Where thou dwell- est, I will dwell. Thy people shall be â€"aroand and around, now almost down to the flock, then back again, until at last it drops and seizes its prey. There my people, thy God my God.” Open your doors, oh Church of God, and let them come in "as doves to their win. down.” Christ is the only shelter at the souli in trouble. What can you do {with-i out him when sorrow comes? Perhaps} at first you take valerian to quiet your; nerves, or alcohol to revive your spirits: but have you found anything in the medicines or physical stimulants sufficient! Perhaps in the excitement of the money-market, or in the merry making of the "club-room, you have nought relief. This world has no balsam for s wounded soul. noshelter (or a. bruised spirit.

Most of the winged denizens have no home; now: they are at the north, and now at the sowth, as the climate indicates. This year a nest one tree; next year a nest in another‘ tree. The golden oriole remains 1:th three months of the year in Germany,‘ and is then gone. The linnet of Nor-; way crosses the ocean to find rest. away from. the winter’s blast. Thei heron, the goldfinch, and the gross-l baak are migratory. The cranes1 call each other together several days1 before going, choose their leader, ar-I range themselves in two lines, form-; ing an angle, and are gone. But the: pigeons, alluded to in the text, sum- mer, and winter, and always, have a: home in the dove-cot. And so Christ; is the home of‘ those who come tohim.. He is a warm home; they rest umder‘ the “feathers of the Almighty.” Christ tells us that chickens find not a. warmer place under the wing of the hen than we in him. He is a safe horn-e; our fortunes may go down ten degrees below zero, the snows of trouble may fall, the winds of perse- cution may bowl. the jackals of death may stalk fortihâ€"all is well, for "great peace have they who trust in God.” From this home we shall never be driven out. The sheriff may sell us out of our earthly house, lor the fires may burn it down, or ithe winds carry it away, but that | home shall always be ours. TAKING THE KINGDOM. It is not a drop on your hand or. cheek, that leaves you in doubt whether it rains or not, but the rush of an unmistakable shower. It 18 not the raaking up of the gleunings., but the tossing up of the full sheaves; innio the mowâ€"“as doves to their win- do’wa.” There are all ages in this flock. Some of them are young, and the very first use they make of their wings is to fly into the kingdom; some of them are old, and their wings have been torn with shot and ruffled with the tempest, and they had almost dropped into the sea. Some of them have been making a very crooked course. They dipped their wings in fountain of sinâ€"they wandered near the gulf of perdition'; but they saw their dwngerâ€"they changed their course. They have come, at last, “as doves to the windows.” llwt while a greit [lock this dayI comes to tha dove-cot of mercy, the"- largcst flock are going the other way. It 5.13 a Very easy thing to tame dovos. Go out with a handful of corn to feed the pigeons, and they will fly on your shoulders and your hands, so tarnie are they. God has fed those who are before me with "the finest of the wheat,"and yet you have flown from him all your lives long. You hive taken your clothes out of his wardrobe, and your bread out of his hands. God's Spirit will not al- iways strive. In the morning, after a severe night, you have gone out and seen the birds dead on the snow; 30, after awhile, God’s mercy will cease, and the earth will be covered with the bodies of those who perished in the storm. That storm is coming. It will shiver the mast of prideâ€"it; will drive into the white reefs of‘ death every cargo of sin. The cedars of the mountain will split in the hut- ricane, and the islands shall be moved out of their places, and the continents shall (be rent asunder, and the hemispheres shall whirl like a top in the fury of that day. The mountains will be blasted, and the beasts, in affright, be pitched from the cliffs in an avalanche of terror. The dead shall rush forth from the aepulchrea to see what is the mat- ter, and all those who despise God SHALL HORRIBLY PERISH. Now, do you suppose tlhat I can stand here and know that that day is coming without telling you about iit? My last resting-place will pro; l bably be near yours.

Fashion has a varying 1W charm for women. but one of the most pot- ent of all lies in its power (if stimula- tion. It is a sort of invigorating tonic for the feminine mind, and involves a periodical renewing of the general ap- pearance which is very grateful to feminine vanity. Each season brings its changes and at once a new picture of how she will look in this or that new costume promptly presents itself to a wuoman’s innate sense of befit- ting attire. Variations in dress are bound to incite some fresh interest, for there is nothing else which can so quickly change a woman’s point of view, and transform her appearance, as a new gown made in the latest mode. The dominant note in the present ideas of beauty lines . of fig- ure is flexibility, and to this idea is due the change in the fashionable princess model. Bere- tofore the lines of skirt and bodice have been continuous, the only fault with thl m being that they line a ten. dency to give stiffness to the figure. The modistes have come to the con- clusion that much is to be gained in style and grace. by draping the bodice to fit the upper figure and fastening: it in an imperceptible manner to the: train skirt. Velvet is the particular? ly smart thing for these modish gowns, as it 18 coming to be for all ceremonlous and evening gowns. Lit- tle or no trimming is used on the de- collette velvet bodices, as it is intend- ed that the. velvet shall mould the figure as closely as possible. A fault- less figure is of course a necessary concomitant of the princess gown, and ltha desired effect is so simple that the decolletage Is finished only- by Itucked black tulle drawn closely to . the shoulder and draped slightly over i the upper arm. below the straps. Thu year elaborately trimmed gar- ments are very popular, but many persons still cling to the serviceable, plam jacket and skirt, which is the orxgmal tailor dress. Of course gold and red are used ex- tensIVcly as trlmmings, and braid, panne velvet and French knots are still in favor. The narrow stitched band of cloth around the edge of the waist, and the very wide crushed gmlle, are the belts for the season. _ __‘ Some waists and most jackets are loose to front, the latter having nlso iv many cases a atralght, foose back. And all of tbs coats extend only to the tap of the hlp, with the exception of the full length garment. It is the tendency at all skirts to} Spread. out with a great deal of flars‘ around the («not ; and “sauces, whether they are plaited, gathered or cut in circular form, assist very much in bringing about this result. The (louse: tucked in vertical lines for half of its width from the top down is still used, as it was in the summer, both for cloth and thinner materials. The tucks are. fine, with generous spaces between them or set in groups of three, with more or less wide intervals be- tween. A tall, very thin figure is im- .proved by the flounced skirt. The women with the circular flanne- ed skirt, whether straight or graduat- ed, l8 grande mode, and this style will continue in fashion until the spring. The very newest of these flounces are cut full and tucked down a few inches ‘ro fit the skirt piece. ; ' l The much disputed question of skirts has also received at least a tem- porary settlement. the close-fitting skirts havxng the lead far and away beyond any others. The most fashion- ably dressed women wear the close- fitted skirt flaring owell around the feet, and with the tulness at the back stitched down in a few small plaits. The women with pretty figures are not quite ready to discard the skirt which shows of! their pretty lines and accept Some very gorgeous new gowns are made entirely of panne velvet. They are worn With boleroa to match over lace blouses. and trimmed with chiffon and fur. Often the skirt and bolero in embroidered with gold thread. one with plaits all around the hips, no the full sku't mast hide its time. There are skirts with close-fitting mrfivv hip yok'es with plaits below. and there no skirts platt- ed at the waist line but they are usually in the soft, thin materials like veiling. crepe de chine and mousseline, and: then the plaits often take the form of tucks. There were many skirts with circular flounces, and all the skirts were very full at the hem, but the hips were almost if not quite as closely fitted as when the habit skirt was in. vogue. In fact it is not altogether out of vogue, for some of the new cloth gowns have no fulness in the back save thst which is given by the flare.

Some neat cloth gowns are being strapped with the bias bands of stitched taffeta, in the same or a contrasting shade.

There 13 a great deal of brown and yellow about, and rxch deep yellow prommes decidedly to be the favorite even‘mg shade, while it is much seen in millinery. Despite the fact that many Empire gowns are seen among the imported costumes they do not lead. as the Em- pire shapes do among the coats and wraps, especmlly those for evening wear. Princess effects are very much liked both for evening and day gowns, and a very short bolero gives the Empire style to the costume without the superfluous fulness around the waist The favorite materials for these costumes are the Louis XIV. brocades, crepe finished satins, and faced tattetas, yet semi-transparent fabrics are often used.
