Ht That is where Prince Jesus lived
HJ nineteen centuries ago. He was the
H ; King's Son. It was the old homestead
H of eternity ; and all its castles were as
H old as God. Not a frost had ever chill-
H ed the air. Not a tear had ever rolled
Hj dawn the cheeK of one of its inhabi-
Hi txusta. There had never been a head-
H ache or a sideache , or a heartache.
H There had not been a funeral in the
H memory of the oldest inhabitant. There
K liad never in ail the land been woven
H a. black veil , for there had never been
R anything to mourn over. The passage
Hj of cnillions of yars had not wrinkled
K -or crippled or bedimmed any of iti
Hj -citizens. All the people there were in
H a. state of eternal adolescence. What
H -floral and pomonic richness ! Gardens
H -of perpetual blcom and orchards in un-
H ; ending fruitage. Had some spirit from
H ! another world entered and asked , What
K is sin ? What is bereavement ? What
w is sorrow ? What is death ? the bright-
H est oE the intelligences would have fail-
H -ed. to give definition , though to studi
es -the- question there was silence in hea-
M xcri for half an hour.
m , The Prince of whom I speak had hon-
B < jts , emoluments , acclamations , such as
M no ether prince , celestial or terrestrial ,
m ever enjoyed. As he passed the street ,
| h.e inhabitants took , off from their
B brows garlands of white lilies and
M threw them ir the way. He never en-
m texed any of the temples without all the
B j worshipers rising up and bowing in
K | obeisance. In all the processions of the
1 high days he was the one who evoked
0the loudest welcome. Sometimes on
1 foot , walking in loving talk with
1 the humblest of the land , but at
1 • other times he took chariot , and
jl .among the twenty thousand that the
Mu Psalmist spoke of , his was the swift-
| fi - est and most flaming ; or , as when St.
i John described him , he took white
1 palfrey with what prance of foot , and
Mm oxch of neck , and roll of mane , ano
HI gleam of eye is only dimly suggested
Jff in the Apocalypse. He was not like
P other princes , waiting for the Father
HI io Ke and then take the throne. Whsr
1 years ago an artist in Germany made
i a picture for the Royal Gallery repre-
HI senting the Emperor William on the
Hi throne , and the Crown Prince as hav-
Hi lag one foot on the step of the throne
H | the Emperor William ordered the pic-
HIture changed , and said : "Let the princ
HI "keep his foot off the throne till I leave
IS iL"

H | Prince side by side with the Father
HI That a circle of dominion ! What mui-

ness. rich in "all the fulness of the
Godhead bodily. "
But ono day there was a big disastei
in a department of God'a universe. A
race fallen ! A world in ruins ! Our
planet the scene of catastrophe ! A
globe swinging out into darkness , with
mountains , and seas , and islands , an
awful centrifugal of sin seeming to
overpower the beautiful centiipetal of
righteousness , and from it a groan
reached heaven. Such a sound had
never been heard there. Plenty of
sweet sounds , but never an outcry of
distress or an echo of agony. At that
one groan the Prince rose from all the
blissful circumjacence , and started foij
the outer gate and descended into thrj
night of this world. Out of what a
bright harbor into what a rough sea !
"Stay with us , " cried angel after angel ;
and potentate after potentate. "No. 'j
said the Prince , "I cannot stay ; I must
be off for that wreck of a world. I mus !
stop that groan. I must hush that dis
tress. I must fathom that abyss. I mus ,
redeem those nations. Farewell
thrones , and tcmrJrc. b. r.ts cherubic
serapnic , archungelic : 1 will comt
back again , carrying on my shoulder a
ransomed world. Till this is done I
(
choose earthly scoff to heavenly ac- ;
elamation , and a cattle pen to a king's
palace , frigid zone of earth to atmosphere - !
phere of celestial radiance. I have no !
time to lose , for hark ye to the groan
that grows mightier while I wait ! Fare
well ! Farewell ! 'Ye know the grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ , that though
he was rich , yet for your sakes he became
' "
came poor.
Was there ever a contrast -so over
powering as that between the noonday
of Christ's celestial departure and the
midnight of his earthly arrival ? Sure
enough , the angels were out that night
in the sky , and an especial meteor act
ed as escort , but all that was from oth
er worlds , and not from this world.
The earth made no demonstration of
welcome. If one of the great princes
of this world steps out at a depot ,
cheers resound , and the bands play ,
and the flags wave. But for the ar
rival of this missionary Prince of the
skies not a torch flared , not a trumpet
blew , not a plume fluttered. All the
music and the pomp were overhead.
Our world bpened for.him nothing bet
ter than a barn-door. The Rajah oi
Cashmere seat to Queen Victoria a
bedstead of carved gold and a canopy
that cost seven hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars , but the world had for the
Prince of Heaven and Earth only a lit
ter of straw. The crown jewels in the
Tower of London amount to fifteen mil
lion dollars , out this member of eter
nal Royalty had nowhere to lay his
head. To know how poor he was , ask
the camel drivers , ask the shepherds ,
ask Mary , ask the three wise men of
the East , who afterward came to Beth
lehem. To know how poor he was ex
amine all the records of real estate in
all that Oriental country , and see what
vineyard or what field he owned. Not
one. Of what mortgage was he the
mortgagee ? Of what tenement was he
the landlord ? Of what lease was he
the lessee ? Wio ever paid him rent ?
Not owning the boat on which he
sailed , or the beast on which he rode.
or the pillow on which he slept. Pie
had so little estate that in order to pay
his tax he had to perform a miracle ,
.putting the amount of the assessment
in a fish's mouth and having it hauled
ashore. And after his death the world
rushed in to take an inventory of his
goods , and the entire aggregate war ,
the garments he had worn , sleeping in
them by night and traveling in them
by day , bearing on them the dust of
the highway and the saturation of the
sea. St. Paul m my text hit the mark
v/hen he said of the missionary Prince ,
"For your sakas he became poor. "
The world could have treated him
better if it had chosen. It had all the
means for mar.iug his earthly condition
comfortable. Only a few years before
when Pompey , the general , arrived in
Brindisi he was greeted with arches
and a costly column which celebrated
the twelve million people whom he had
killed or conquered , and he was al
lowed to wear his triumphal robe in the
senate. The world had applause for
imperial butchers , but buffeting for
the Prince of I ace. Plenty of golden
chalices for the favored to drink out
of , but our Prince must put his lips
to the bucket of the well by the road
side after he had begged for a drink.
Poor ? Born in another man's barn ,
and eating at another man's table , and
cruising the lake in another man's
fishing-smack , and buried in another
man's tomb. Four inspired authors
wrote Ma biogiaphy , and innumerable
lives of Christ have been published ,
but he composed his autobiography in
a most compressed way. He said , "I
have trodden the wine-press alone. "
But the Crown Prince o' h.2 ivenly
dominion has less than the r . - - . less
than the chamois , for he was homeless.
Aye , in the history of the universe
there is no other instance of such com
ing down. Who can count the miles
from the top of the Throne to the bottom
tom of the Cross ? Cleopatra , giving a
banquet to Antony , took a pearl worth
a hundred thousand dollars and dissolved - ]
solved it in vinegar and swallowed it. |
But when our Prince , according to the j
Evangelist , in his last hours , took , the
vinegar , in it had been dissolved all
the pearls of his heavenly royalty.
Down until there was no other har-
rassment to suffer , poor until there was
no other pauperism to torture. Billions
of dollars spent in wars to destroy men ,
who will furnish the statistics of the
value of that precious blood that was
shed to save us ? "Ye know the grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ , that , though
he was rich , yet for your sakes he be
came poor. "
Only those who study this text in two
places can fully realize its power , the
Holy. Iand of Asia Minor and the holy
land'of heaven. I wish that some day
you might go to the Holy Land and
take a drink out of Jacob's well , and
take a sail on Galilee , and read the
Sermon on the Mount while standing
on Olivet , and see the wilderness where
Christ was tempted , and be some after
noon on Calvary about three o'clock
the hour at which closed the cruci
fixion and sit under the sycamores and
by the side of brooks , and think and
dream and pray about the poverty of
him who came our souls to save. But
you may be denied that , and so here , in
another continent and in another hem
isphere , and in scenes as different as
possible , we recount as well we may
how poor was our Heavenly Prince.
But in the other holy land above we
may all study the riches that he left
behind when he started for earthly ex
pedition. Come , let us bargain to meet
each other at the door of the Father's
mansion , or on the bank of the river
just where it rolls from under the
throne , or at the outside gate. Jesus
got the contrast by exchanging that
world for this ; we v/ill get it by ex
changing this world for that. There
and then you will understand more of
the wonders of the grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ , who , "though he wa3
rich , yet for your sakes became poor. "
Yes , grace , free grace , sovereign
grace , omnipotent grace ! Among the
thousands of words in the language
there is no more queenly word. It
means free and unmerited kindness.
My text has no monopoly of the word.
'One hundred and twenty-nine times
'does the Bible eulogize grace. It is
Ja door swung wide open to let into
'the pardon of God all the millions who
choose to enter it.
John Newton sang of it when he
wrote :
' 'Amazing grace , how sweet the sound ,
That saved a wretch like me. "
Philip Doddridge put it into all hymnology -
nology when he wrote :
"Grace , 'tis a charming sound ,
Harmonious to the ear ;
Heaven with the echo shall resound ,
And all the earth shall hear. "
When Artaxerxes was hunting , Tire-
bazus , who was attending him , showed
the king a rent in his garments ; the
king said : "How shall I mend it ? "
"By giving it to me , " said Tirebazus.
Then the king gave him the robe , but
commanded him never to wear it , as
it would be inappropriate. But seeing
the startling and comforting fact , while
our Prince throws off the robe , He not
only allows us to wear it , but commands
us to wear it , and it will become us
well , and for the poverties of our spir
itual state we may put on the splendors
of heavenly regalement. For our sakes !
Oh , the personality of this religion !
Not an abstraction , not an arch under
which we walk to behold elaborate ma
sonry , not an ice castle like that which
the Empress Elizabeth of Russia , over
a hundred years ago , ordered to be
constructed. Winter with its trowel
of crystals cementing the huge blocks
that had been quarried from the frozen
rivers of the North , but our Father's
house with the wide hearth crackling
a hearty welcome. A religion of
warmth and inspiration , and light , and
cheer ; something we can take into our
hearts , and homes , and business , re
creations , and joys , and sorrows. Not
an unmanageable gift , like the galley
presented to Ptolemy , which required
four thousand men to row , and it3
draught of water was so great that it
could not come near the shore , but
something you can run up any stream
of annoyance , however shallow. En
richment now. enrichment forever.

BONANZA FORTUNES GONE.
Inheritors of California Millions Now
an Almost l'cnni. 'ois Crowd.
California has long had the reputa
tion as the home of the bonanza king
and a recently issued document , eased
on the records of the San Francisco
Probate court , tells an Interesting atory
of the contests and entanglements
which have massed about the last tes
tament of many famous millionaires
and the final disposition of the vast
suras they left behind them , says Den
ver Field and Farm. The document
gives the history of fifty-three wills ,
disposing of $175,000,000. About 400
heirs divided the vast sum and to-day
nearly half of that number are penni
less again and only a few succeeded in
adding to their inheritance. The aver
age number of persons provided for in
each was ten , though in a number of
instances , the most notable of which
was the case of Florence Blythe , the
; entire estates passed into the hands , of
single heirs. The comparatively small
estate of Kato Johnson , which was ap
praised at $1,250,000 , reached more
heirs than any other , the number on
the list being twenty-five , while the
? 4,000,000 of Thomas Blythe went to
one child , Florence , after a celebrated
trial. The estate of Maria Coleman
was valued at $1,757,000 and it went
equally to three heirs. Charles Crock
er's $22,000,000 reached six persons ,
while Mary Ann Crocker's $11,883,657
went share and share alike to four of
the six who got Charles Crocker's
larger fortune. Peter Donahue's $3 , -
708,312 went in equal parts to three
heirs. Mrs. Theresa Fair's $4,693,250
went to three persons Charles L. Fair ,
Miss Virginia Fair and Mrs. Charles
Oelrichs while William P. Fuller dis
tributed his $1,771,262 to seven persons
of his name. Emmanuel Goldstein's
$1,000,000 went to six heirs , George
Hearst's $ S,788,137 went in equal parts

Ella Hobart and Mrs. Wenthrop Lester.
Mary Hopkins' $20,694,762 went to two
persons. Robert C. Johnson's $1,910 , -
550 went to eleven persons in almost
equal portions. There are a few ex
ceptions to the general course of es
tates , as in the case of Lick and Stan
ford. The $5,000,000 of the Lick es
tate went chiefly to one heir and to a
number of trusts of a public nature
created before James Lick's death.

to his widow , while Alexander Mont
gomery's $2,356,845 went to three heirs.

six heirs. William S. O'Brien's $9 , -
655,450 reached eight persons. James
left an even million , which reached
four persons in shares and a number of
small bequests. A. J. Pope's $1,660,000
reached four heirs. Washington Ryer
left $1,276,398 to fifteen persons. Le-
laud Stanford's $17,688,319 went to
four persons and the trust for the uni
versity.
MENELEK'S INDEPENDENCE.
'Sot Such a Barbarian as Is Comintnly
Supposed.
The pope's influence has failed to se
cure the release of the Italian prisoners
in Abyssinia. It is said that his shrewd
councillors disapproved an attempt so
little likely to succeed at a time when
his holiness cannot afford to risk the
papal prestige ; but a generous pity
overcame their reasoned objections. As
if to emphasize the refusal , Menelek
has set free sixty-four officers and men
of his own accord. They report that
the Abyssinian monarch is not such a
barbarian as is commonly supposed.
He reads the leading Italian journals
through an interpreter it is well for
the prisoners mean exactly by "many. "
stand them himself. Menelek desires
to make himself equal to the European
sovereigns ; and this fact represents
progress , for all his predecessors firm
ly believed themselves to be already
equal or superior. The Italian officers
are frequently questioned about the
manners and customs of royalty in Eu
rope. His queen actually wears dress
es from Paris and stockings , shoes , etc.
Many French families are settled at
and near Entotto , where the negus has
a palace , and they supply these arti
cles. One would like to know what
the prisoners mean exactly by "many. "
It may be credited , however , that Abys
sinia is about to undergo a change ,
with Russians and Frenchmen to direct
it ; and , in that case , the sooner Egypt
gets command of the upper waters of
the Nile the better for her safety. To
occupy the Sudan would be the first
move of the energetic negus , who felt
himself strong enough to organize a
grand attack upon the hereditary foe ,
says the London Standard. And if he
got possession of the Sudan , self-inter
est would tempt him to divert the Nile ,
nutting ill-will towards Egypt aside.
Longfellow's Gentleness.
He was reluctant to make any criti
cism of other poets : T do not remem
ber ever to have heard him make one
and his writings show no trace of the
literary dislikes or contempts which
we so often mistake in ourselves for
righteous judgment. No doubt he had
his resentments , but he hushed them in
his heart , Which he did not suffer them
to embitter. While Poe was writing of
"Longfellow and other plagiarists , "
Longfellow was helping to keep Poe
alive by the loans which always made
themselves gifts in Poe's case. He
very , very rarely spoke of himself at
all and almost never of the grievances
which he did not fail to share with all
who live. W. D. Howells in Harper's.

which they set on the countess' put.
The earl called upon them to desist ,
which they insultingly refused to do ,
whereupon ho wont for the bluest

Anyone who wishes to see the rjlioat / M 1
of a ilowor has only to make a very • flfl
simple experiment. Let him go up tv -V M
a cluster of blossoms and look very intently - * _ H
tently for several minutes at one side H
of it. Then very suddenly he must |
turn his gixzo upon the other side of H
the same cluster. Ho will at once distinctly - k
tinctly sec a faint and delicate circle |
of colored light around this second H
half of the cluster. The light is always |
in the hue which is "complementary" H
to that of the ilowcr. The specter of J H
thu scarlet poppy is of n greenish k
white. . The ghost of the primrose is 4 H
purple. Thu ghost of the blue fringed H
gentian is of a palu gold tint. In H
these circles of color the siiapes of H
thu flower's petals are always faintly H
but clearly seen. H
