'Yes, sir, 7 am 1fodd to know him." was

DR.. TALMAeE DRAWS LESSONS FROM
THE WEDDING FEAST.

How Many and What Baseless Excuses Men
Make For Not Becoming Christians.
Christianity Is Very Great Help In Ev-
cry Proper Relation In Life.
BROOKLYN, April 16.-Rev. DR.. Talmage
a his sermon in the Brooklyn Tabernacle
this forenoon spread before the great audi
snce in eloquent words the beauty and at
tractiveness of the gospel feast, the text
chosen being from Luke xiv, IS, And they
all with one consent began to make excuse. ="
After the invitations to a levee are sent
out the regrets come in. One man apollo
gizes for nonattendance on one ground, an
other on another ground. The most of the
regrets are founded on prior engagements
So in my text great banquet was spread,
the invitations were circulated, and now
the regrets come in.
The one gives an agricultural reason, the
other a stock dealers reason, the other a
domestic reason-all poor reasons. The
agricultural reason being that the man had
bought a farm and wanted to see It. Could
be not see it the next day? The stock deal
er's reason being that he had bought five
yoke of oxen and he wanted to go and
prove them. He had no business to buy
them until he knew what they were. Be
sides that 8 Wlan who can own five yoke of
oxen can command his own time. Besides
that. he might have yoked two Of them to-
gether and driven them on the way to the
banquet, for locomotion was not as rapid
then as now. The man who gave the do
reason said he had got married. He
ought to have taken his wife with him.
The fact was, they did not want to go.
And they all with one consent began to
make excuse" So now God spreads q
great banquet It is the gospel feast, and
the table reaches across the hemispheres,
and the invitations go out, and multitudes
come and sit down and drink out Of the ohal-
ices of Gods love, while other multitudes
coming-the one giving this apollo
gy and the other giving that apology. "And
they all with one consent began to make
excuse" propose this morning, so far as
God may help me, to examine the apollo
0ies which men make for not entering the
Christian life.

RELIGION HAS MADE A RECORD.

RELIGION HAS MADE A RECORD.
Apology the First-I am not sure there is
anything valuable in the Christian reli-
gion. It is pleaded that there are so many
impositions in this day-sO many things
that seem to be real are sham. A gilded
outside may have a hollow inside. There
is so much quackery in physics, in ethics,
in politics, that men come to the habit of
tncredulity, and after awhile they allow
that incredulity to collide with our holy
religion.
But, my friends, I think religion has
made a pretty good record in the world
How many wounds it has salved; how
many pillars Of fire it has lifted in the mid
night wilderness; how many simoOm struck
Saharas it hath Surned into the gardens Of
the Lord; howit hath stilled the chopped
sea; what rosy light it hath sent streaming
through the rift of the storm cloud wrack;
what pools Of cool water it hath gathered
for thirsty Hagar and Ishmael; what man
ma whittier than cOriaDder seed it hath
dropped all around the camp of hardly be-
stead pilgrims; what promises it hath sent
out like holy watchers to keep the lamps
burning around deathbeds; through the
darkness that lowers into the sepulcher,
what flashes of resurrection mOrnl
Besides that this religion has made so
many heroes. 1t brought Summerfeld, the
Methodist, across the Atlantic ocean with
his silver trumpet to blow the acceptable
year of the Lord until it seemed as if all
our American cities would take the king
dom of heaven by violence. 1t sent Jehudi
Ashman into Africa alone, in a continent
of naked barbarians, to lift the standard Of
civilization and Christianity. Itmade John
Milton among poets, Raphael among paint
ers, Christopher Wren among architects,
Thorwaldsen among sculptors, Handel
among musicians, Dupont among military
and to give new wings to the
imagination, and better balance to the judg-
ment, and more determination to the will,
and greater usefulness to the life, and
grander nobility to the soul, there is moth
ing in all the earth like our Christian reli-
uiOD

FASHION BITS.

New cotton blouse waists, noted
in tartan plaids, are unique and at
the same time an extremely pretty
idea.
The latest fad in hair dressing is
wire frame, upon which 4 Crlmp
cd switch can be easily arranged
into a light Chignon,
New card cases are in very deli
cate colors, hcliotrope the fayorite
The little strap on one side is for
holding 4 bunch of violctS or 4 rose.
For simple dresses red cashmere,
trimmed with dotted bands, en-
broidcred in black silk. are worn
by little children, with a white
nainsook guimpe.
The waists of the newest French
dresses are either quite round or
Just a trifle pointed i'll the back.
Others are princess i'll the back and
show the round waist i'll the front
only.
Silk sheets are an elegant caprice
of women who find it difficult to
spend their income They arcuSu-
ally of plain white, and hcmstitch
ed with the monogram cipher along
the hem. But sheets Of pale pink
and blue are also made with deli
cate line of embroidery along the
edge.
Collars will be Elade which can
be worn with any dress, indoors or
on the street. A black lace collar
is one of the most useful accessor-
les for any woman. One in wide
black lace terminates in long jabots
down the front. This lace HOunce
is surmounted by a full collar OF
black silk. Bows and ends of rib
bon complete the arrangement.
The kerchief blouse is sure to be
one of the great successes OF the
season. Into the shoulders and
fronts Of arm sizes is filled i'll each
side a width of material, which is
left to hang in two long scarfs, un-
til the waist is hooked, where these
are crossed over the bust and pass
ed around to the back of waist,
where they tie like sash. This
admits of pretty variations, as the
V neck space formed by the crossed
fchu may be filled in with lace or
embroidery.

and the cost wiflA)e about $500, 900.
Cumberland Md. The surveys
for the extension of the West Nir-
ginia Central & Pittsburg Railroad
from Cumberland to HagcrstOwn
are about completed, and it is
thought that contracts will be let

EastOn, Md.-The building of a
railroad from EastOn to Rock Hall
is proposed. George NJ. Sharp, of
Baltimore, can probably give i'll
formation.
Florence, Ala meeting OF
parties interested III the proposed
Mobile, Florence < Tuscaloosa
Railroad will be held some time i'll
April, when some movement will
likely be placed on foot fol carrying
out the project. This is the road
planed III accordance with the report
of the State commission appointed
to survey a railroad connecting the
waters of the Tennessee river with
those of Mobile bay, the details Of
which were published in Our ISSUE

FLOWERS, FRUITS AND SHRUBS.

Since the rhododendron has
been named as the State flower OF
Washington it is fast growing i'll
popularity and there is a great de-
mand for roots.
Daisies are admirable for border
ing, they are so low growing and OF
rapidly spreading habit. Their
constant blooming habit and hardi-
ness make them especially valuable.
White orchids still make the
most fashionable bridal bouquet.
Next comes lilies of the valley and
white roses, unless, as often hap
pens, the bride has some especially
tender association with another
flower.
A giant double daisy with flowers
as large as a silver dollar, is a
novelty. 1t has been brought up
to this standpoint from the Prince
of Wales variety; the flowers are
densclv double and of glowing red
and rose shades.
The new type of dahlia, the Tom
Thumb, grows i'll bushy form to a
height of only 10 to II inches.
They produce an abundance OF
single flowers of various COlors and
combination of Colors, striped, mar,
gincd and spotted.
Another fine plant for bordering a
bed is the ageratum. This branch
es out largely and blossoms protusely
all the season. They are i'll shades OIL
blue, white, rose, and this year we
have a new variety of "a delicate
chamois color" A bordering made
alternately to the several colors
would be very attractive.
The old-fashioned perennials have
been restored to favor. But the
perennials of to day are not like
those of a quarter of century ago
Hollyhocks, for example, are very
unlike their ancestors. No gardel
is complete without the famialiaI
flowers, which are still the same
type, though perhaps more SNOWY
and double.
Don't be in hurry to uncover
the roses. The covering is more
necessary now than at any othel
time of the year. 1t is not to pro
tect them from intense cold, no.
from steady cold, that roses are
covered, but as a safeguard agains
sudden changes. a few warm
sunny days may start the buds
