EATING GRASS LINE OXEN1 Nebuchadnezzar-Like, Fine Intel lects Herd With Beasts. —I.— 1 Mo Inos timnhlu value of Christianity an an eleva ting anil ennobling influence on the nature of man, formed the subject of Ur. I :i 1 ■ male's nernion thin mbrning. Tlio preacher chose an his text the huiniliaiion of the Babylon 1»U king who being ilesll tute of religion natik to the level of the brute. Daniel lv: *.'8, ‘‘A 11 thin came upon the King Nebuchadnezzar." Colonel Itawlinsoa, the oriental trav eler, says that the exhumed bricks, not only of llabylon but of 100 towns in an area of 100 miles in length and thirty in breadth, are inscribed with the name of Nebuchadnezzar. He was a great warrior and at the glance of his sword nations prostrated them selves. He was a great king and built a city roservoir ninety milos in circum ference and ISO feet deep, and con structed a hanging garden 400 feet squure und seventy-five feet high, some say to please Amukia, his wife, who j had been born nmeng the hills, and ! others say to get a pleasure ground free from the mosquitoes, which nlllict the levels. 1 think, from his charac ter, the latter reason may have im pelled him as much a| the former. When he conquered King Zcdclclah, so as*to have no more trouble with him, he put Ills eyes out—a most barbar ous way of incapacitating an enemy. Hut llabylon was a great place, tlio houses surrounded by gar dens und the housetops were connected with each other by bridges, and one day Nebuchadnezzar walked out on those suspension bridges and showed, peril-.'ps to a royal visitor, tlio vnstness it lii£ realm as the sun kindles the domes with glistenings almost insuf ferable, and the great streets thunder up their pomp into the ear of the mon arch, and armed towers stand around Adorned with spoils of conquered em pires. Nebuchadnezzar waves his hand above the stupendous scene and ex claims: “Is not this great iiabylon that 1 have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the honor of mjf majesty?" In other words: “What a great man I am. Iiabylon was not anything until I adorned it. See those waterworks; see those gardens; see those forts I did all this 1 shall never be forgot ten. Why, my name is on every brick in all those walls. Just look at me. I am more than a man. Uut, in an in stant, all that splendor is gone from his vision, for a voice falls from the heavens, saying: “0, King Nebuchad nezzar, to thee it is spoken; the king dom is departed from thee, nnd they shall drive thee from men and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts o‘f the field; they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men and givetli it to whomsoever he wilL" One hour from the time ho made the boast, ho is on his way to the fields a maniac, and rush ng into the forests lie becomes as one of the beasts, and is nfter awhile covered with eagles’ feathers for protection from the cold, and his nails grow to look like bird's claws in order that he may dig the oarth for roots and ciimb the trees for nuts. The mental disaster that seized him was what the Ureck3 called lycan thropy, by which a man Imagines him self a beast and prefers to go out and mlnglo with brutes, lie who had been eating pomegranates and apricots off of plates of gold inlaid with nmethj'st and diamond, and drinking tho richest wines from tho royal vats, now brows ing on grass, and struck by the horn of the ox ns ho contends for a better tuft of tho pasturage, and instead of an orchestra on benches of ivory playing the national airs, now listening to the moan and bellow and grunt of the beasts. This is not hard for mo to be lieve, for the forms of domentin are in numerable. A few years ago, arriving in a cuy on asummor aitcruoon, while waiting lor ray engagement in the evening, I sauntered forth into what seemed to bo a pur'.: in front of a large public building, the use of which I knew not I met a gentleman, with whom I fell into a delightful conversa tion, and he seemed intelligent on all subjects. After a while. I said: “Let us sit down on this bench and rest awhile and enjoy the sceno of verdure and fountains.” “No.” said ho. “You sit down, but I cannot I am made of glass, and if I should sit down I would break to pieces.” Then, I saw that he was insane, and belonged to the large building just behind us. After such an interview as that, I can oasily believe this account of my text Here is Nebuchadnezzar on all fours. He once prided himself on boing more than a man, and now he turns out less than a man. The courtiers look out of the windows upon him as he moves among the rojal herds and cry, "A beast!” Seven years pass when suddenly his reason returns, and he comes back to liabylon a humble wor shipper of the t-od of heaven. What must have been the excitement in the royal court ns this restored maniac emperor walks into the palace. What a time they hsd in enttiug his nails and his l:&lr, which had grown for seven years without being interfered with by any shears. What a scrub bing must have taken place in the im perial baths What a transformation nccossary in ordor that he who had been herding with camels and goats and swine may be made fit to associ ate with princes. What a change from a sty to a th»one-room! While walking from this Ilabylonian palace down to the pasture field, and from the pas'.uro field back to the pal ace, the first tiling that impresses me is wliat an incongruous thing it is for a king to be eating crass. It is good for cattle.but not fit for man. And then! for one to prefer it to a royal table toward whoso bounty the orchards, and paddocks, and streams, and vine yards in all the earth might contribute —what an amazement! And yet the scene is ns common as the daylight. When I see a man of regiu nature made to rule in realms of thought, capable of all moral elevation, besot ting his faculties, attempting out of low sensualities to satisfy his immortal energies, coming down of! his throne of power into brutalities, sacrificing his higher nature to his lower nature, stooping and stooping, coming down and coming down until all his influ ence for good is gone, I cry out, “There is a king eating grass like an ox!’’ And there are tens of thousands of such Nebuchadnezzar*. So there ure queens who dedicate themselves to the same humiliation. What power f >r good God gave that woman. Mag netism of personal presence. Influence more than imperial. l(y her intelli gence. by lier tenderness, by her charm of smile mid manner, capable of sooth ing so much sorrow, nnd reforming so much waywardness, nnd wielding so much elevuted power: yet at the call of worldliness, coming out of the throne room of go ul influence, where God would have her reign, coming down over the ivory stairs of moral power, coming down and coming down until she has no moro soul than the dead bird transfixed in her millinery or the chinchilla that was slain to give her warmth, or the kid that furnished her the glove, and finding her only delight in flatteries of brainless men, and mid night schottlschu and debauched nov elettes. I say "There is one who might have been a queen unto God forever, yet eating straw like an ox.” I look over the pasture fields of folly nnd sin, and find many grovelling who ought to be erect. Oh men and women go back to your thrones! A youug man ran a tvav from home and broke his widowed mother’s heart. Fourteen years passed and he returned, and came to the window at which his old mother was sitting. She looked up and uuuiuuiuiuiy recognized mm, uuu saut: “Oh, Robert, Robert! Como in!” “No!” said he, “mother, I shr.ll never come in till I hear you say you forgive mo.” Her answer was, "Robert, I have for given you long ago. There is nothing to forgive now except that you staid away so long.” My hearer*, forgive ness has been ready for you a good while. With moro than a mother’s tenderness God will take you back. They are waiting for you up in the palace. Nebuchadnezzar was the son of Nobopolassar who ruled before hiin, and you nre the child of a king! The next thought that presses into my mind from the contemplation of this incident, is that conviction is not conversion. Who is this monarch that makes the boast about liabylon? The very man who, under the revelation of dreams that Daniel made from heaven, deeply humbled himself, while he con fessed that God is a God of Gods and a Lord of Lords, yet, behold that that humbling and arousing which he be foro felt did not result in a radical change. There is no mistake more frequent than of supposing conviction a synonym for conversion. Conviction - is merely si sight of sin; conversion is a view of pardon. Conviction is merely alarm; conversion is confidence. Con viction is dissatisfaction with deprav ity; conversion is a turning away from it. Conviction is a sword wound; con version is the healing. Conviction is the fever of thirst; conversion is the slaking of that thirst. Conviction is the pain; conversion is the medicine that cures it. Thousands have experi enced the former and never experi enced the latter. There are multitudes who think that as soon as a man is serious he is fit for profession of re ligion. What if a man should only think seriously of being a merchant, would that make him a merchant? What if a man should only think seri ously of being a lawyer; would that make him a lawyer? What if a man should only think seriously of being a Christian; would that make him a Christian? Felix was convicted but not converted The jailer was convicted before he- got out of bed, but not converted until at the advice of 1’aul ho believed in Christ. Are you convicted but not converted? I tell you what you make me think of. You have made up your mind for proper consideration to deed away a property. You have drawn the deed. The seal is affixed opposite where you are to write your name. The commis sioner of deeds is present to witness. You have your pen in hand. There is ink in the pen. Thero is only one thing for you to do, and that is to sign your name. Supposo you stop now without signing youy name, what does it all amount to? Nothing. So vou nave resolved to give yourself up to God. You propose to sign off to him your body, your mind, your soul. You have all things necessary for the transfer. The angels of God are here to witness the eternal transfer. Why do you not now with your will com plete the work? Halt where you are, and all goes for nothing. Sign your name to this spiritual transfer Pro fessor Arago, the mathematician, got wofully discouraged in his work and was about to give up, when ho saw some words on the paper which had been used to stiffen the cover of his book, and the words being indistinct he dampened the cover until he could take it off and saw the words plainly and he found they were words of ad vice given by D’ Alembert to a stu dent, and the words were, “Go on, sir; ■ go on!" Oh ye who are convicted “Go on!" You must tako ono more step, or all the steps you have taken will amount to nothing! Go on! Learn also from my subject that pride is the precursor of over throw. Prido is a commander we»l plumed and caparisoned, but it leads forth a dark aud frowning host “Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit be fore a fall." The arrows from the Almighty’s quiver arc upt to strike a man when on tho wing. Goliah shakes his great spear in defiance, but the Bmooih stones from the brook make him stagger and fall like an ox under a butcher's bludgon. He who is down cannot fall. Vessels scudding under bare poles do not feel the force of tho storm. What are those three sleds that have just gone into the yard of a mis erable hotel in Warsaw, Poland,on the cold night of December 10, 1812? Who are they, who from these sleds have entered, and the sorvant is trying to build for them a fire with some green wood? Napoleon, with six attendants, on retreat, from Moscow. Tho fire amid the green wood lias gone out and the emperor is walking the floor to ! keep from freezing. Then bounding into his sled, the thermometer 2S de grees below zero, he disappears in the darkness. He, who a little before had an army under his command, together ] with troops offered by other nations in i aU 1,187,000 men, now retreating I through thmt December night with' three sleds, and those of his army not dead under the snow, reduced for food to a mere handful of rye-dough, seasoned with gunpowder for lack of' salt, and a mouthful of horsc-liesh. I’rom what a height to what a depth! Nebuchadnezzar in the palace; I Nebuchadnezzar forsaken in the Helds. * Again learn from the misfortune of the king of liabylon what a terrible thing is the loss of reason. There is no calamity that can possibly befall ns in this world so great as the derange ment of intellect—to hare the body of a man and yet to fall even below the instinct of a brute. In this world of sad sights, the saddest is the idiot's stare, in this world of awful sounds, the most nwful is the maniac's laugh. A vessel on the rocks, when hundreds go down never to rise, and other hun dreds drag their mangled and shiver ing bodies up the wintry beach, is nothing compared to the foundering of intellects full of vast hopes and attainments and capacitiea Christ's heart went out to those who were epi leptic, falling into fire, or maniacs cut ting themselves among the tombs. We are accustomed to be more grateful for physical health than for the proper working of our mind. We are apt to take it for granted that the intellect which has served us so well will ul ways be faithful. We forget that an engine with such tremendous power, when the wheels have such vastness of circle and such swiftness of motion and the least impediment might put it out of gear, could only be kept in proper balance by a divine hand. No human power could engineer this train of imwort il faculties. How strauge it is that our memory, on whose shoulders all the successes and misfortunes and oc currences of a lifetime nre placed, should not oftener break down, and that the scales*of judgment, which nave been weighing so much and so long, should not lose their adjustment, and that fancy, which holds a danger ous wand, should not sometimes maliciously wave it, bringing into the heart forebodings and hallucinations the most appalling. Is it not strange that the expectations of this intellect should not be dashed to pieces on its disappointments? Though so deli cately attuned, this instrument of un told harmonies plays on, though fear shocks it, and vexations rack it, and sorrow and joy aDd loss and gain in quick succession beat out of it their dirge, or draw from it their anthem. At morning and at night, when in your prayer you rehearse the objects of your thanksgiving, next to 3’our salva tion by Jesus Christ, praise the Lord for the preservation of your reason. How mauy fine intellects are being destroyed by anodynes and anaesthet ics, which were given by providence for occasional use in alleviation of pain or insomnia,abuf by being employed continuously, after awhile capture and destroy Chloral, cocaine, bromide of potassium, opium and whole shelves of seductive etceteras that help to turn Nebuchadnezzars into imbecility or madness. Do not trifle with opiates that benumb the brain. If you cannot live without the perpetual and enslav ing use of them, you had better die. Hotter die a sano man than live a fool, What right have you to kill your brain and put in wild jangle your nervous system? Hut rum is the cause of more insanity than anything else. There is nothing like rum to put a man, like Nebuchadnezzar, down on all fours. Again, learn how quickly turns the wheel of fortune, from how high up to how far down went Nebuchadnez zar. Those now in places of position and power, ev(jn though they should live, will, in a few years, be disre garded, while some, who this day are obscure and poverty stricken, will ride up on the shoulders of the people to take their turn at admiration and the spoils of office. Oh, how quickly .the wheel turns lktllot boxes are the steps on which men come down as often as they go up. Of those who were a few years ago successful in the accumulation of property, how few have not met with reverses of fortune, while many of those who then were straitened in circumstances now hold the bonds and the bank keys of the nation and win the most bows on the exchange. Of all fickle people in the world fortune is the most fickle. Every day she changes her mind, and woe to that man who puts any confidence in what she promises or proposes. She cheers whtfh you go up and she laughs when you corne down. Oh, trust not a moment your heart's affections to this changeable world. Anchor your soul in God. Frofti Christ’s love gather your joy Then come sorrow or gladness, success or defeat, riches or poverty, honor or disgrace, health or sickness, life or death, time or eternity, all are yours and ye are Christ's and Christ is God’s. Well-Disciplined Ducks. Blackwood has a good account of a ■journey of 1,200 miles up th,e Yang-se Kiang full of description and leaving on the mind the impression that China, besides being one of the most original of civilizod countries, must be one of the most beautiful. The following passage may raise in some fowl-breecf ers a new appreciation of Chinese skill In disciplining their feathered flocks: “During our stay at Hankow we visited a duck farm. The process of keeping the ducks is simple. A largo wooden shed stands near the edge of the river, where the owner of the farm or an employe spends the night with his feathered friends. There must have been several thousand of ducks in the farm we visited. Before sunrise the door of the shed is opened, ajicl out run the ducks, scrambling, one over the other into the river, where they spend the day feeding. As soon as sunset approaches, from all parts of the river they come, for they wander far among the rushes and islands dur ing the day, and there is still more hurry and scurry to got into the shed than there was to get out at dawn. The reason is simple. IinTuovable by the door sits the Chinaman, along cane in his hand, and woe betide the last duck to enter, for down on its back 'comes the long bamboo with a pain inflicting thud. In this way punctu ality is insured among the ducks.” Children could hardly have learned their lesson better than the ducks. A scientific journal states that a little sugar put on the hands with soap will greatly increase its lather and clean* tog power. ’CETTIN’ JINED TOGETHER." The Erldenea Went Aealnst *Hm. anil da Had to Quit. When I wns about two miles out of town, says a writer in the N. Y.

Boss, I waut yo’ to decide dat questun. Jist look me nil ober an' say how ole I was.” .1 took him over to the window where I could get a good look at him, and as I scanned his features I realized that he must be a very old man indeed. "Do you want my honest opiuion?" I asked, as we sat down agaiu. "Sartiu, L*css,” he hopefully replied, while the widow’s face wore an anxious look. "Well, then, as near as I can judge, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, you are at least 80 years old. and perhaps live years older." "Jist nke 1 dun tole yo’ daddy!” ex claimed the widow; aud she pounded her knees with her lists and laughed long and loud. The old man stood up and looked at me reproachfully out of his one eye aud then shuffled out of door without a word. He full down getting off the doorstep, and he tripped over a root and fell down nt the gate; and as ha went off up the road he humped over so far that he did not appear to be more than three feet high. Half an hour later the rain ceased"falling, and I followed him. Half a mile up the road I came to a fork, and the old man stood there under a tree. "Daddy, which road do I take to go to Kelley’s?'' I asked. He looked nt me a moment and then came shuffling out to the road and replied: ••Boss. I won’t tole yo’ nuffln 'bout do roads!" ‘•But why?" • Kaso yo’ han’t no friend of mine!” "Yes, I am. too; of course I am.” "Ho, sah! No. sah! Can’t stuff dat down me, sah!

A correspondent relates in a Now York paper that before Mary Hartwell Calherwood, the Illinois authoress, entereil upon the writing of her "Story of Tontv” she concluded to visit Starved Rock ami "stand where he had stood" to view the landscape o’er, and perchance gain facts and inspira tion. She went to Ottawa, stopped at the Clifton,sent for the proprietor (one Billy Taylor) and said she wanted a man who knew the whole country to drive her to Starved Rock. "All right.” said Billy, "I know the very man. He’s green, bashful and taciturn, but he knows everything and if you once interest him be'fl talk like a book.” "I’ll interest him,” cried Mrs. C. joyfully, "What’s his hobby?” ••Science,” replied Billy at random, and went off to engage a man he had a .grudge against—one who, added tc his natural bashfulnoss and stupidity, had an absolute horror of women. Billy assured him the passenger was an exceedingly quiet woman, aD authoress, nnd would pay well. So off they started. Poor Mrs. Catherwood!
