Dr. Talmage Draws Lessons From the Great Harvest Thm Onlj Salration From Hanger The Saviour the Benjamla or This World Christ Erer Ready to Aalt the Keedy The BelleTers' Fcut. In a recent sermon at Brooklyn, sug fested by the meager crops abroad and the treat harrest in America, Rev. T. De Witt Talmage took his text from Genesis xliii. 3: "Ye shall not see ray face except your brother be with you." lie said: This summer, having- crossed eight een of the United States, north, south, ast and west, I have to report the mightiest harvest that this country or sny other country ever reaped. If the jTain gamblers do not somehow wreck these harvests we are about to enter npon the grandest scene of prosperity that America has ever witnessed. Hut while this is so in our own country on the other side of the Atlantic there are nations threat ened with famine and the most dismal ry that is ever heard, will, I fear, be uttered, the cry for bread. I pray God that the contrast between our pros perity and their want may not be as sharp as in the lands referred to by my text. There was nothing to eat. Plenty of corn in Egypt, but ghastly famine in Canaan. The cattle moaning in the stall. Men, women and chil dren awfully white with hunger. Not the failing of one crop for one summer, but the failing of all the crops for Mjven years. A nation dying for lack of that which is so com mon on your table and so little appre ciated; the productof harvest fields and grist mill and oven; the price of sweat, anxiety and struggle bread! Jacob, the father, has the last report from the flour bin, and he finds that everything is out, and he says to his sons: "Hoy.s, hitch up the wagons and start for Egypt and get us something to cat" The fact was there was a groat corn crib in Egypt The people of Egypt have lecn largely taxed in all ages, at the present time paying between 70 and BO per cent of their products to the government. No wonder in that time they had a large corn crib and it was fulL To that crib they came from the regions round about those who were fnmlbhcd some paying for corn In money; when the money was exhaust ed paying for the corn In sheep and cattle, and horses and camels; and when they were exhausted, then selling their own bodies and their families into slavery. The morning for starting out on the crusnde for bread has arrived. Jacob gets his family up very early. Hut be fore the elder sons start they say some thing that makes him tremble with emotion from head to foot and burst into tears. The fact was, that theso elder sons had once before been in Egypt to get corn, and they had been treated somewhat roughly, the lord of the corn cribsupplying them with corn, but saj'ing at the close of the interview: "Now. you need not come back here for any more corn unless you bring something letter than money, even your younger brother Itenjamin." Ah! llenjamin that very name was sug gestive of all tenderness. The mother had died at the birth of that son a spirit coming and another spirit going and the very thought of parting with Hcnjamin must have been a heart break. The keeper rf this corn crib, nevertheless, says to these older sons. "There is no need of your coming here nny more for corn unless you bring llenjamin. your father's darling." Now Jacob and his family very much needed bread; but what a struggle it would be to give up this son. The Orientals are very demonstrative in their grief, and I hear the outwailing of the father as these elder sons keep reiterating in his ears the announcement of the Egyptian lord: "Ye shall not see my face unless your brother be with you." "Why did you tell them that you had a brother?" said the old man. complain ing and chiding them. "Why. father," they said, "he asked us all about our family and we had no idea he would make uny such demand upon us as he has made." "No use of asking me," baid the father, "I cannot I will not give up llenjamin." The fact was that the old man had lost children; and when there has been bereavement in a household, and a child taken, it makes the other children in the household more precious. So the day for de parture was adjourned and adjourned, und adjourned. Still the horrors of the famine increased and louder moaued the cattle, and wider open cracked the earth, and more pallid became the cheeks, until Jacobin despair cried out to his sons "Take llenjamin and be off." Well, the bread party the bread em bassy drives up in front of the corn crib of Egypt The lord of the corn crib, who is also the prime minister, comes down to these arrived travelers and says: "Dine with me to-day. How is your father? Is this Hcnjamin. the younger brother whose presence I de manded?" The travelers are introduced into the palace. The butchers and poulterers and caterers of the prime minister prepare the repast The guests are seated in small groups, two or three at a table, the food on a tray; all the luxuries from imperial gardens and orchards, and aquariums and avi aries are brought there and are tilling chalice and platter. Now Is the time for this prime minister, if he has a grudge against Benjamin, to show it Will he kill him now that he has him in his hands? O, no! This lord of the orn crib is seated at his own table and he looks over to the table of his guests, and he sends a portion to each of fliem, but sends a larger portion to Hcnjamin, or, as the Bible quaintly puts it: Ben jamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs." Be quick and send word back with the swiftest camel to Canaan to old Jacob that "Hcnjamin is well; all is well; he Is faring sumptu ously; the Egyptian lord did not mean murder and death: he meant deliver ance and life when he announced to us on that day: 4Ye shall not see my face unless your brother be with you." WelU mv friends, this world is famine struck of sin. It docs not yield a single crop of solid satisfaction. It is dying. It is hunger bitten. The fact that it does not cannot feed a man's heart was well illustrated in the life of the English comedian. All the world hon ored him did everything for him that the world could da He was applauded in England and applauded in the United fitates. Ue roused up nations into laughter. He had no equal- Aud yet, although manv people supposed him happy and that this world was com pletely satiating bis soul, he sits down and writes: "1 never in my life put on a new hat that it did not ram and ruin it I never went out in a shabby coat because it was raining and thought all who had the choice would keep indoors that the sun did not burst forth in its strength and bring out with it the but terflies of fashion whom I knew and who knew me. I never consented to accept a part I hated,out of kindness to another, that I did not get hissed bv the public and cut by the writer. I could not tae a drive for a few minutes with Terry without being overturned and having my elbow bone broken, thoug'i my friend got off un banned. 1 oo.:ld not make a covenant with. Arnold, which I thought was to make my fortune without making his instead, than in an incredible space of time I think thirteen months I earned for him 20,000 pounds and for myself one. I am persuaded that If I were to set up as a beggar every one in my neighborhood would leave off eating bread." That was the lament of the world's comedian and joker. All un happy. The world did everything for Lord Byron that it could do. and yet in his last moments he asks a friend to come and sit down by him and read, as most appropriate to his case, the story of "Bleeding Heart" Torrigiano, the sculptor, executed after months of care and carving, "Madonna and the Child," The royal family came in and admired it Everybody that looked at it was in ec stacy ; but one day, after all that toil and all that admiration, because he did not get as much compensation for his work as he had expected, he took a mallet and dashed the exquisite sculpture into atoms. The world is poor compensa tion, poor satisfaction, poor solace. Famine, famine in all the earth; not for seven years, but for six thousand. But, blessed be God, there is a great corn crib. The Lord built it It is in another land. It is a large place. An angel once measured it, and as far as I can calculate it in our phrase, that corn crib is 1.500 miles long and 1,500 broad and 1.500 high, and it is fulL Food for all nations. "O!" say the people, "we will start right away and get this sup ply for our souL" But stop a moment; from the keeper of that corn crib comes this word, say ing: "You shall not see my face ex cept your brother be with you." In other words, there is no such thing as getting from Heaven pardon, and com fort, and eternal life unless we bring with us our Divine Brother, the Lord Jesus Christ Coming without Him we shall fall before we reach the corn crib, and our tiodies shall be a por tion for the jackals of the wilder ness; bttt coming with the Di vine Jesus, all the granaries of Heaven will swing open before our soul, and abundance shall be given us. We shall be invited to sit in the palace of the King and at the table; and while the. Lord of Heaven is apportioning from his own table to other tables he will not forget us; and then and there it will be found that our Benjamin's mess is larger than all the others, for so it ought to be. "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive ing, and riches, and honor, and and power." I want to make three points. bless &lory. Every frank and common sense man will ac knowledge himself to be a sinner. What are you going to do with your sins? Have them pardoned, you say. How? Through the mercy of God. What do you mean by the rarcy of God? Is it the letting down for the ad mission of all without respect to char acter? Be not deceived. I see a soul coming up to the gate of mercy and knocking at the corn crib of heavenly supply, and a voice from within says: "Are you alone?" The sinner replies: "All alone." The voice from within says: "You shall not see my pardon ing face unless your Divlno Brother, the Lord Jesus, be with you." O, unxious sinner! O, dying sinner! O, lost sinner! all you have got to do is to have this Divine Hcnjamin along with you. Side by side, coming to the gate, all the store houses of Heaven will swing open lniforc your anxious soul. Am I right in calling Jesus Ben jamin? O, yes, Rachel lived only long enough to give a name to that child, and with a dying kiss she called him HunouL Afterward Jacob changed his name, and called him Benjamin. The meaning of the name she gave was "son of my pain." The meaning of the name the father gave was "son of ray right hand." And was not Christ the son of pain? All the sorrows of Rachel in that hour, when she gave her child over into the hands of staangers, was nothing compared with the struggle of God when Ire gave up His only Son The omnipotent God in a birth throe! And was not Christ appropriately called "Son of the Right Hand?" My text also suggests the reason why so many people do not get any real comfort You meet ten people; nine of them are in need of some kind of con dolence. There is something in their health, or in their state, or in their domestic condition that demands sym pathy. And yet the most of the world's sympathy amounts to absolutely noth ing. Peoplo go to the wrong crib, or they go in the wrong way. When the plague was in Rome, a great many years ago, there were eighty men who chanted themselves to death with the litanies of Gregory the Great Hterallv chanted" themselves to death, and yet it did not stop the plague. And all the music of the wor.d cannot halt the plague of the human heart. 1 come to some one whose ailments are chronic, and I say: "In Heaven you will never be sick." That does not give you much comfort. What you want is a soothing power for your present dis tress. Lost children, have you? 1 come to you and tell you that in ten years, perhaps, you will meet those loved ones before the throne of God. Hut there is little condolence in that One day is a year without them, aud ten yearn is a small eternity. What you want is a sympathy now present help. I come to those of you who have lost dear friends and say: "Try to forget them. Do not keep the departed always in your mind." How can you forget them when every figure in the carpet and every picture and every room calls out their name? Suppose I come to you and say by way of condolence; "God is wise." K)." you say, "that gives me no help." Suppose I come to you and say: "Got!, from all eternity, has arranged this trouble.' 'Ah!" tou sav, Tnat does me no good." Then I say: "With the feet of prayer go direct to the corn-crib for a heavenly supply." Yon go. You say: "Lord help me; Lord comfort me." But no help yet No comfort yet It is all dark. What is the mat ter? I have found. You ought to go to God and say: "Here, O, Lord, arc the wounds of my souL and I bring with me the wounded Jesus. Let His wounds pay for my wounds. His be reavements. His loneliness for my lone liness. His heartbreak for mv heart break O. God! for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ tho God, the man, the Benjamin, the brother deliver my agonized souL O. Jesus of the aching head, heal my aching head. O, Jesus of the Bethany sisters, roll away the stone from the door of our grave." That is the kind of prayer that brings help: and yet how many of you arc get ting no help at all, for the reason that there is in your soul, perhaps, a secret trouble. You may never have men tioned it to a single human car, or you may have mentioned it to some one who is now gone away, and that great sorrow is still in your souL After Washington Irving was dead they found a little box that contained a braid of hair and a miniature and the name of Matilda Hoffman, and a mem orandum of her death, and a remark something like this: "The world after that was a blank to me. I went into the country and found no peace in soli tude. I tried to go into society, but I found no peace in society. There has been a horror hanging over me by night and by day, and I am afraid to be alone." How many unuttered troubles! No human ear has ever heard the sorrow. O, troubled soul, I want to tell you thattnere is one salve that can cure the wounds of the heart, and that it the salve made jut of the sympathetic Jesus, I go further, and ind is my subject a hint as to the way Heaven opens to the departing spirit We are told that Heaven has twelve gates, and some people infer from that fact that all the people will go in without reference to their past life; but what is the ase of having a gate that is not sometime te be shat? The swinging of a gate im plies that our entrance iato Heavea m conditional. It is not a moaetary coa dition. If we come to the door of an exquisite concert we are not surprised that we must pay a fee, for we know that fine earthly music is expensive; but all the orations of Heaven cost nothing. Heaven pays nothing for its music. It is all free. There is nothing to be paid at that door for entrance; but the con dition of getting into Heaven is our bringing our Divine Benjamin along with us. Do you notice how often dy ing people call upon Jesus? It is the usual prayer offered the prayer offered more than all the other prayers put to gether "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit" One of our congregation when asked in the closing moments of his life: "Do you know us?" said: "O. yes. I know you. God bless you. Good-by. Lord Jesus, receive my spirit" and he was gone. O, yes, in the closing moments of our life we must have a Christ to call upon. If Jacob's sons had gone to ward Egypt and had gone with the very finest equipage and had not taken Hcniamin along with them and to the question they should have been obliged to answer: "Sir, we didn't bring him, as father conld not let him fo, we didn't want to le lothered with him." a voice from within would have said: "Go away from us. You shall not have any of this supper. You shall not see ray face because your brother is not with you." And if we can come up toward the door of Heaven at last though we come from all luxuriance and brilliancy of surroundings, and knock for admit tance and it is found that Christ is not with us, the police of Heaven will beat us back from the bread house, saying: "Depart, I never knew you." If Jacob's sons, coming toward Egypt, had lost everything on the way: if they had ex pended their last shekel; if they had come up utterly exhausted to tho corn cribs of Egypt, and it had been found that llenjamin was with them, all the store houses would have swung open before them. And so, though by fatal casualty, we may le ushered into the eternal world; though we may be weak and exhausted by protracted sickness if, in that last moment, we can only Just stagger, and faint, and fall into the gate of Heaven it seems that all the corn cribs of Heaven will open for onr need, and all the palaces will open for our reception, and the Lord of that place, seated at His table, and all the angels of God seated at the table, and the martyrs seated at their table, and all our glori fied kindred seated at our table, the king shall pass a portion from his table to ours, and then, while we think of the fact that it was Jesus who started us on the road, aud Jesus who kept us on the way, aud Jesus who at last gained admittance for our soul, we shall be glad if He has seen of the travail of His soul and been satisfied, and not be at all jealous if it be found that our Divine Benjamin's mess is five times larger than all the rest Halll annointcd of the Lord. Thou nrl worthy. My friends, you see it is cither Christ or famine. If there were two banquets spread and to one of them only you might go you might stand and think for a good while as to which invitation you had better accept; but here it is feasting or starvation. If it were a choice between oratorios you might say: "I prefer the Creation,'" or "1 prefer tho 'Messiah.'" But here is a choice between eternal harmony and everlasting discord. O, will you live ot die? Will you start for the Egyptian corn crib or will you perish amid the Canaanitish famine? "Ye shall not see my face except vour brother be wits you." " A PET TIGER. The Fierce Animal Marie Thoroughly Do cile Heroine a Iie'b Companion. In lW.i two officers of the Fifth lan cers, while on a shooting expedition In fie Lerar, encountered a fine tigress with cubs. They killed the tigress, but not before she had severely lacerated Capt Thackwell's arm, so severely, in deed, as to render amputation neces sary, the operation, unhappily, result ing in the death of the unfortunate of ficer. The two cubs were captured and taken to Lucknow, where they used to play alout the Fifth lancers' mess. One, however, choked himself with a lump of raw meat which he had pur loined. The surviving cub was pre sented by Capt Chally to the Mndras fusiliers, who gave him the name of "1'lafsey," and constituted him their regimental pet Plassey lecame very time, and was on most friendly terms with the men. He lived at the officers' mess, and when allowed to be at large he amused him self by stalking a small donkey which was wont to wander about the mess compound. He was alo introduced to an antelope and a dog. with whom he lived amicably while the regiment re mained in India. Plassey accompanied the One Hundred and Second to En gland, being granted a free passage by the captains of her majesty's ships, Jumna and Himalaya. Two yonng leopards and his canine ally were his fellow passengers. Plassey landed with the regiment at Dover, where suitable quarters were provided for him in the main losses of the citadel beneath the officers' mess. There. Plassey lived a happy life with his friend, the dog. his "personal at tendant" being the adjutant's groom. who fed and looked after him. At meal time Plassey always allowed the dog to have the first "go-in," but when he thought his canine companion had taken a fair share he would give him a a gentle pat with his paw as a reminder. When Plassey was nearly full-grown, and in the zenith of his popularity with the fusiliers, an old lady resident of Dover wrote to the general command ing the district and stated that she had seen Plassey disembark, and that ever since she had remained a prisoner in her house, fearing to go out lest Plas sey should have escaped and be roam ing about tne town. So frequent were this old lady's let ters and complaints that at last the gen eral felt compelled to take notice of them, and so poor Plassey was sent off to the zoological gardens, accompanied in his exile by his faithful dog. Plassey developed into a magnificent animal, and never outgrew his amiability, ne was several times visited by an officer of the One Hundred and Second (from whom the writer obtained the above particulars), whom he invariably re membered with affectionate remem brance. Plassey died at the "Zoo" in the spring of 1877, and his head and skin were long preserved in the officers" mess ot the Oae Hundred and Second. Art Journal.

To the city man who daily enters the rortex of the business life, who sits in a fourtccn-story office and plans, directs and consummates, the words "fishing" ind "hunting" come like a cool moun tain breeze, and for an instant the city's hum changes to the roar of the moun tain brook, and the smell of pines and a vision of dark, fern-lordered pools surround him. Happy he, if in his everlasting hunt and chase for the al mighty dollar, he has captured enough of them to give him a few weeks' free dom and a ticket over some of the roads which lead into one of the natural game preserves, with which this country is amply provided. If he can have a day or two. he may board a train for Fox lake, where the breeding beds of Grass lake furnish A DAY AT HAMUN, N. mnskallonge, pickerel, yellow pike, wall-eyed pike, rock bass, small mouthed bass, -silver bass and perch. To this list tho fish commissioners have added German carp and salmon. One important feature of the pleasure to be had at Fox lake is the duck slutt ing. In the marshes are found the mal lard, dusky duck, greenwing teal, cranes, blue heron and bittern, while of the deep-water fowl there an; the Can ada goose, brent, red-breasted iner gauser, canvasback, velvet duck, shell drake and others. Although the rapid development of Fox lake, us a popular summer resort during the last few years, has not increased fish and game, the facility with which it can Ins reached by Chicago people makes it a desirable resort for a day's vacation. Several muskallonge, weighing from 30 to 40 jKmnds have W-cn taken from the waters of Fox lake, but there is no insurance company which will insure one of such a catch. In Lake Beulah, three miles from Mokwonago, Wisconsin, which was oened only four years ago, black bass, rock bass, pike and pickerel are abun dant In Gogebic lake and it tributary streams black bass and brook trout are very plentiful. One man during the summer of "Mi pulled out 251 brook trout in a day while two days later a Chicago fisher caught 4'. black bass, the weight of the largest Iwing 3 jKiunds. During the last seavm, a party of four from Cincinnati, Ohio, caught in eight day's fishing in Seven Miles lake in the region of Eagle river, 20 muskal longe, weight of largest 10 ouud.s, and CO pike, largest weighing bit ounds. Lake Vieux Desert, Wisconsin, nlounds in muskallonge, and Trout lake. Arbor Vital and Turtal river and vicinity are well-known as favorite haunts of this variety of fish. At Watersmeet, Michigan, 19 brook trout were captured by one lisner in a i half hour. ' At Bangor, the La Crosse river fur ishes bass, pickerel, pike and other flailing and in this vicinity deer, foxes and wild turkeys are plentiful. Fur ther north in the wilder portions of the state hunting, trapping and fishing lie comc a business instead of a pastime, as the fisheries of Bayfield and Wash burn testify. To the sportsman who likes change and variety of game, the different hunting grounds of Wisconsin offer ruffled grouse, wcHnlcock, ducks, snipe, wood-ducks and some geese, and jack-snipe; deer, hares, rabbits and squirrel. Michigan presents very much the same repertory. Tile best shooting in Minnesota may be found in the country around Fronte nac Prair.e chickens arc always abun dant in season, on these prairies, while some of the trout streams of Wisconsin are within easy access, and ducks and geese are numerous. All of Minnesota's larger lakes and many 01 tne smaller ones are deep, clear and cold; free from alkali. sk)undings hare leen made in some in- stances to the depth of 15 fathoms, a xative or the BrrTT.n mx)T nxscz. while a depth of 5 to 10 fathoms is not uncommon- The water is cold, even during the warmest weather, and the fish of these lakes are peculiarly hard and of fine flavor. On the prairies east of Fairibault hunting for prairie chickens is fine, while in the woods, northwest, there are quantities of partridges, quail, wolcock. snipe, duck, squirrel and rabbit A few well-known points in regard to some of the methods employed in hunt ing and fishing may not be amiss, me there u a method in this pursuit as in every other madness, and though the craft seems easy to learn, it cannot al ways be readily acquired by the freak of the inexperienced. Fishers and hunters, like other men of genius, are born, not made and from them we must study ways and means if our fishing is done outside of a meat market. In early summer, bass, pike and pick erel will "strike the spoon," and fly fishing is always most successful in the evening. Baiting with a frog is also a good plan in shallow water. Is deep water uu-Esamj, live nrooic anK u good bait. Black bass will bite at aagleworms occasionally. In trolling for maakaMonge, pike and bass, th "aaoon hook" is used.

Some times it is a good plan to posh alout in a light boat and shoot the duck a they fly up from the marshes, or to resort to 'pass" shooting from a blind a the ducks Cy along a narrow channel or from one lake to another. Irairic chickens, quail. ruffled grouse, woodcock and wjuirrela are commonly shot with a rille. Deer are still-hunteo or hunted with dogs, geese arc killed from blinds or from pit dug in wheat fields, which they frequent. To reach the natural jireserTca of larger gane demand-s time and money. Good deer hunting may le found about Pike lake. 20 miles west of Ashland. while 11 miles still further west i the Boise Hrulc, an excellent trout stream. Deer and antelope are common in North Dakota, but buffaloes have en tirely disappeared. The belief is prevalent that the larger game have nearly disappeared from the northwest, but anyone who will ex plore the source of the Mississippi, or the "Hig Hole Basin" of Montana, w ill find moose, elk, deer, antelope, black and grizzly bears and goats in great numbers. In the Bad Lands alxiut the little Missouri river a few elk remain, but they are more abundant in the Big Horn mountains and in the Shoshone mountains of northern Wyoming; lenr, antelope and deer are all found in these regions. About Lake Pcnd D'Oreille larger and smaller game are plentiful, aud the fishing in the cold lake waters is ex cellent Probably there Is no lcttcr elk field in this country than in tho Olympic or Coast Bange mountains. Bears are nearly always found on elk fields; black bears are numerous in the Bed Lake country of Northern Minne sota.

Soic years ago a wealthy manu facturer in the west employing nearly a thousand hands established a "model" city, thus giving the workmen and their families many comforts ami luxuries that they could not have attained un aided. Of course there were regula tions to govern the model city, which, as a rule, were cheerfully observed There verc fault-finders, however, and especially a newcomer named Hascomb. Among the rules was one forbidding the burning of soft coal, on account of the odor and smoke, and Hascomb objected strongly. "My goodness!" remonstrated a friend. "I don't see what you are, growling alK)tit V get hard coal at cost, and as one ton goes as far as two of the other, you ain't out of pcket" " 'Tain't right to forbid it," asserted Hascomb.
