Human Soul Humbled and Restored.
The Important Part Of Every Prayer.
Glories OF Magnificent Gospel.
WASHINGTON, July I2.-Dr Talmage's
sermon of today is vivid and novel pres
entation Of the theories Of ruin and resto-
ration. The Bible scene described is dra-
matte. His text was ii Samuel tx, 1 and
ID: 'Is there yet any that is left of the
house of saul, that may show him kind
ness for Jonathan sakes go So Mephib-
osheth dwclt in Icrusllem, for he did cat
continually at the kings table and was
lame on both his feet "
Was there ever anything more romantic
and chiyalrous than the love Of David and
Jonathan? At one time Jonathan was up
and David was down Now David is up
and Jonathan's family is down. As you
have often heard Of two soldiers before go
ing into battle making covenant that il
one is shot the survivor will take charge
of the body, the watch the mementos and
perhaps Of the boreit family of the one that
dies, so David and Jonathan have made
covenant, and now that Jonathan is dead
David is inquiring abont his family, that
he may show kindness unto them for their
father Jonathan's sake
Careful search is made, and son Of
Jonathan Of the drcadfully homely name
of Mcphiboshoth is found His nurse, in |
his infancy, had let him fall, and the fall T,
had put both his ankles out Of place, and |

In HIS Names
The most important part of every prayer
is the last three or four words of it For
Christ's sake. - Do not rattle off those
words as though they were merely the fin
ishing stroke Of the prayer They are the
most important part of the prayer When
in earnestness you 20 before God and say
for Christs sake it rolls in, as it were,
upon God mind all the memories. of
Bethlehem and Gennesaret and GOlgotha
When you say before God for Christ
sake" you hold before Gods mind every
groan, every tear, every crimson drop Of
his only begotten Son. If there is any
thing in all the universe that will move
God to an act Of royal benefaction, it is to
say For Christ's sake. God is omnipO-
tent, but he is not strong enough to resist
that cry, "FOr Christ's sake" If a little
child should kneel behind God s throne and
should say " For Christ's sake, - the great
Jehovah would turn around on his throne
to look mt her and listen. No prayer ever
gets to heaven but for Christ's sake No
soul is ever comfortcd but for Christ's sake
The world will ever be redeemed but for
Christ's sake. Our name, however illus
triOus 1t may be among men, before God
stands only Tor Inconsistency and sin. But
there is a name, a potent name, a blessed
name, n glorious name, an everlasting
name, that we may put upon our lips as
a sacrament and upon our forehead as a
crown, and that is the name of Jesus, our
divine Jonathan, who stripped himself Of
his robe and Put on our rags and gave us
his sword and took our broken reed; 80
that now, whether we are well or sick,
whether we are living or dying, if we speak
A. - IA
and God says: LET the poor soul come In.
Garry him up into the throneroom of the
palace Though he may have been in exile,
though sin may have crippled him on this
side, and sorrow may have crippled him on
the other side, and he is lame in both his
feet, bring him up into the palace, for
want to show him everlasting kindness for
sake"
Again, Mephibosheth IN my text stands
for the disabled human soul lifted TO the
Kings table 1t was more difficult in those
times even than it is now for common men
to get into "a royal dining room. The sub
jects might have come around the rail of
the palace and might have seen the lights
kindled, and might have heard the clash
of the knives and the rattle of the golden
goblets, but not got in. Stout men with
stout feet could not get in once in all their
lives to one banquet, yet poor AIephibo-
sheth goes in, lives there and is every day
at the table Oh, what getting up in the
world it was for poor Mcphiboshethl Well,
though you and may be woefully famed
with sin, for our divine Jonathan's sake
| hope we viii all get in to dine with the
King.
Before dining we must be introduced.

where there are distinguished people pres

GIRLS IN PANTALOONS.
Old-fashioned Females In New-fashi0ned
Clothes:

If trousers signify higher feminine civil
iLation, then the most progressive women
OF the century are the female muleteers and
goat herders OF Switzerland. The con-
ventionaI ease with which these hard
working girls of the higher Alps wear their
bfeeches, would fill Dr. Mary Walker with
envy, and take the tiniid dress rcformers'
breath away, for plain, ugly, homt-spuu
pantaloons are their DAILY and only COS
tune for the best part OF the year These
masculine garments, however. are not in
the least assumed as badge Of buid inde-
pendence by the Alpine daDIstls, or in recog-
milton of equal rights with men, and nobody
would be more astouished than one of these
hcrCsmaidens should she be hailed us u.
new woman.
As a matter OF fact. she spends her life
too high out Of the valleys to know any
LninS az an OF nIoueru piusrcss, icminine or
otherwise, and her pantaloons are worn for
storm conveience only, and in obedience
to the rigors of the rough, hard life she leads.
They are hand woven, hand sewed, cut out
OH a naively ugly pattern, and are about
the only uniform suitable for the special
work and climate, known on the higher Alps.
Moreover, breeches came into fashion on
the Oberiand long before boomers ar
rived or the bicycle trouserette appeared
to excite public comment. Somebody was
obliged to look after the goats and grass
on the mountains. There Were not enough
men to do 1t, when factory work and emf
grafton began to make inroads on the rural
districts or ; witzerani. 50 the nardy SWISS
women took the matter actively in hand.
There was no flinching, either, from any Of
the duties involved, and the bctrousered
girls who run about the Alpine upiands are
wonderful workers. They wear, in addition
10 the hiIeous Dreecncs, hoD-naIied SHOES,

Then His Sweetheart Married Him
and HI Is Now Recovering.


and He Is Now Recovering.
Springfield. Mass, Dec. 2.-With his life
hanging by thread, Rev, Louis Frederick
GirouN, instructor in the French American
College. in this city, married on Monday,
Miss Louise Battell Simpson, principal bf
the women's department in the same insti-
tuition.
Since Mr.. GirouX was taken i'll Miss Samp-
son has watched over him with loving
kindness, and when 1t was announced that
he had developed symptoms of diphtheria,
she was quarantined in the house with him.
The marriage certificate was taken out by
Rev. 8. II. Lee, president of the college,
who performed the ceremony in the pres
ence of the attending Physician and nurse.
Miss Sampson and Mr.. GirouX were en-
gagedlast September, and the wedding was
set for Christmas Day. Mr.. Giroux pur-
chased Il comfortable little hoose in May
nard street, TO which he intended to take his
bride. and was living there when taken i'll
two weeks ago. Asi
1t was at first supposed that Mr.. Giroux
had typhoid fever, and ne was treated for
that disease. Miss Sampson called to see
him daily, and was at his bedside Sunday
when the physician announced that the pa
tient had diphtheria and that the chances
of his recovery were small.
Miss Sampson telegraphed her guardian,
Leander Chamberlain, of New York, ask
ing him if he would sanction her marriage,
knowing that Mr.. GirouX might not live
the night out. A favorable reply was re-
ceived, and the marriage ceremony, which
was as brief as possible, followed.
Mr.. Giroux was improved last night. A
consultation OF physicians was held. and
it was decided to administer anti-toxine.
The effects of the treatment were mar
velous. and it is now expected that the
bridegroOms life will be saved.

TWICE WOOED AND THEN WON.
Young Mans Mind Blank as to
His First COurtship.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. Miss Edith
Marchus, OF No. 263 Forest street. this
city, who has just married William E. Hig-
gins of SaDdusky, has been twice wOOed
and won by the same man, the ':,tter,
however, having no recollection or the
first siege he laid to Miss Marchus' heart
Mr.. Higgins is about twenty-five years
old, and up to the summer OF S95 lived
with his parents in Sandusky. He went
to Elyria, where he obtained situation
with the johnson Electric Railway Com
pany, and one day in August of that year,
while at work as lncman, an lnsui1tor
fell from a crosstop and struck MIN on
the forehead. At the time he compiiined
of peculiar sensation about The heau
and as time passed he daily became more
confused in his thoughts.
Fearing that he would be i'll he returned
home and was prostrated for four wee Ks.
When he had recovered his health, appar-
emily, he returned to Elyria and re-entered
the employ of the railway company. On
Saturday evening he announced to his
landlady that he was going home to spend
Sunday, and she became alarmed when the
young man did not return.
for long ,4me Eo tt.ce or the young
mans whereabouts could be found,
though his father Travelled hundreds OF
miles in the hope of learning where he
was Finally, friend of the family
u
he had seen the young man in that city.
The father went there, and found his son
working for an electric company. To his
ia a'her's joyous greeting, however, he
coidly said
Excuse me, but do not know you"
Then for the first time did the father
suspect the truth. The young man had
lost his memory, and all efforts to revive
it proved fruitless. The 10y didn't know
where he came from, and as he was
desirous of solving the mystery OF the
past, he accepted his fathers invitation
TO return home with lin in the hope that
his memory might be awakened.
1t was supposed that when young Hig- .
gins should reach Eorne and see his
mother he would again be himself in
every respect. But he did not know her,
although she wept on his shoulder and
repeated to him all those fond names she
used in addressing him when he was an
infant and a growing child. He Gould not
recall anything of his past.
Then a delicate surprise was arranged
for him, which. ii was hoped az last
resort, would awaken his memory Miss
Edith Marchus, of 263 Forest street. this
city, whom Mr.. Higgins had been engaged
to marry in October 1895, was sent for.
She arrived, and was much moved by the
presence OF her lover, whom she had
mourned as dead for SO many months.
The young man treated her with respect.
but his deneauor plainly Indicated that
Miss Marchus. " HON he would havemarried
but for his misfortune, was as stranger
to him. Miss Marchus had formerly lived
in Sandusky. and havin. moved TO Cleve-
land. she was prevailed upon to remain at
the Higgins home for several days, in the
hope that constant association would re-
kindle young Higgins memory.
All efforts failed, however. but Mr.. Hig
gins developed strong attachment for Miss
MarciEus. W hich ripened into love, nd they
were finally married in this city.
