A Chicago lawyer, formerly a Judgo In Texan, tells tho following story of nn oxio rienco In that state: I wits practicing law In Bosque county, Tox., and acting Justlco of tho jieaeo, Just after tho "six shooter" law hod lieen nwm.s1. Tho law was very sovoro, tho UqliUwt penalty for a violation being n lino of tCfi nnd confU cntlon of tho wonoii. Officer all over tho state wero enforcing tho law rigidly, espo cinlly In tho country, as half tho lino was given tho officer who nrreeted an offender. Ono day I was holding court in a llttlo choolhouso, trying a neighborhood case, with nliout forty or fifty men present. I was Just almut to adjourn court when thero rodo In front of a llttlo clump of troon ono of the most Insignificant looking llttlo mon I ever saw. Ho was mounted on n mustang and had an other tied to tho tall of his mount, lending him In Texas fashion. Tho llttlo fellow dis mounted nnd emtio in to got a drink of water. Whllo ho was drinking I noticed that ho had n very flno pair of revolvers strapped to Ida saddle law. I whlsporcd to tho constnblo to solzo tho pistols and then began questioning tho stranger. Boforo ho got through tolling mo that ho was "bound for" Tom Green county I had tho pistols on tho tablo In front of mo nnd told him ho was under arrest. Tho llttlo fellow was vory much astonished and protested his Ignoranco of tho existence of tho "six shooter" law, but as that is not n legal oxcuso I assessed him $2.1 and declared his pistols confiscated. Ho seemed nlmost heartbroken, and after searching his pockets bo said s "Jodgo, Pvo got jest $25 bore. It's nil I got In tho world. Tako that and glinmo my guns." On being told that tho law was Imperative in regard to confiscation, ho continued in nn almost tearful volcoi "Well, jedgo, law (a law, and I reckon you'll hnvo to koop 'om; but, Jedge (nnd horo thoro woro tears In his volco), my maw glinmo thorn pistils, and, Jodgo, I'd like to hold 'cm in my hands jest onco boforo I loavo 'cm for ever." I told him ho might tako n Inst look at them, and handed thorn to him. Quicker than lightning ho had cocked thorn, and tho con itablo and I wero staring straight Into tholr muzzles. "Naow," ho said, and his volco roso to a screech, and ho seemed to 1m nbout a foot tailor; "naow I tako my maw's pistils, will ycrt I'm a-goln' down to that llttlo ravino to eat my dinner, and if you want thoso yer pistils como aud git 'em." Keeping us covorod ho backed to his ponies, mounted and rodo ofT. Then tho constable said: "Jedgo, I reckon I can stand f 12.NJ. Dont you guess tho state can stand that much and tho pistols?" I thought it could, and it did. Washing ton Star. GMtlng Kven. Tho lawyer had lioou badgering tho wit ness for somu tlmo and finally asked; "Was any member of your family over hungf "Yes, sir."

Thoy couldn't cut mo down quick enough I I was given a banquet as tho greatest public benefactor in tho history of tho town." St. Louis Llfo. The Hoy Wiw Surprised. A very llttlo Back Uuy boy, who had oc casionally been taken to Trinity church by his parents, but who, for all that, had man ngod to full into bad company, uiul had been told of thu delights of ringing doorbells aud thou hcatiiiKiriug, sot out ouu evening on his very first expedition of this kind.

T, Do Witt Tulmitgo, 1), I)., announced that ho would very soon liegln a serlc of sermons on his Journey "To and Through tho Holy IaihI," Tho mbject of his discourse this morning was "Tim Glo rious Christ." His text wo! "Ho thnt coin nth from nbovo Is iiIhivo all." -John III, 111, lho groat preacher said: Tho most conspicuous character of history ttcs out tix)ii the platform, Tho linger which, diamonded with light, Minted down to him from tho Bethlehem sky, was only a ratification of tho linger of prophecy, tho finger of genealogy, tho linger of chronology, tho linger of events all llvo lingers pointing in ono direction. Christ Is tho overtopping figure of all tlmo. Ho Is tho vox huuinuii In nil music, thu grncefulent lino in nil sculpture, thu most exquisite mingling of lights nnd shades In nil nintlug, tho nemo of nil ell muxes, tho dome of all cathedralod grandeur, and tho crornt!on of nil splendid language, Tho Greek alphabet is mado up of twenty four letters, anil when Christ couiareil hint wit to tho first letter and tho last letter, tho alpha and tho omega, ho appropriated to himself all tho splendors that you can sjiell out either with thoso two letters aud all tho letters liotwccit them. "I am tho Alpha and tho Omega, tho beginning aud thu end, tho first and tho last." Or, It you prefor tho words of tho text, "uIkivo all." What does It mean! It means, after you have piled tqi all Alplno and Himalayan alti tudes, tho glory of Christ would have to spread Its wiuga and diwcond n thousand leaguus to touch those summits. Pullon, a high mountain of Tin wily ; Oma, a high moun tain, and Olympus, a high mountain; but mythology Ulls us when tho giants warred ngaiust tho gods they piled up these three mountains, and from thotopot them proponed to scalo thu heavens; but tho height was not great enough, and there was a complete fail ure. And after all tho giants Isaiah aud Paul, prophotio and apostolic giants; Raphael and Michael Angolo, artistic glnute; cherubim and seraphim and archangel, celestial giants have failed to climb to tho top of Christ's glory, they might all well unite In tho words of the text and sny: "Ho that cotneth from nbovo is above all." C1IIU8T ADOVIC AIX KLHK. First, Christ must Ixi above all else in our preaching. Thero nro so many books ou homllctlcs scattered through tho couutry that all laymen, as well as all clergymen, have mado up their minds what sermons ought to 1)0. Thnt sermon Is most effectual which most jxjlntodly puU forth Christ as tho iir don of all sin and tho correction of all ovll, Individual, social, political, national. There Is no reason why wo should ring tho endless changes on a few phrases. Thero aro thoso who think that If an exhortation or a dis courwi havo frequontmentionof Justification, snnctificatlou, covenant of works and cove nant of graco, that thereforo it must bo pro foundly ovangollcal, whllo thoy aro suspicious of u dlscourso which present tho samo truth, but tinder illfTeront phraseology. Now, I nay thoro is nothing in all tho opulent realm of Anglo-Saxoiilsm, of all tho word treasures that wo inherited from tho Latin utid tho Greek and tho Indo-European, but wo have a right to marshal It In religious discussion. Christ Hots tho example. Ills illustrations wero from tho grass, tho flowers, tho splttlo, tho salvo, thu barnyard fowl, the crystals of salt, as woll as from tho seas and the stars; ana wo no not proposo in our Sunday school teaching nnd in our pulpit address to lo put ou tho limits. I know thnt thoro Is n great deal said In our day ugulust words, as though thoy woro nothing. They may lo misused, but thoy have;an imperial power. Thoy aro tho brldgo between soul uiul soul, between Almighty God and tho human race. What did God write ujion tho tables of stones) Wonls. What did Christ litter ou Mount Olivet? Wonls. Out of what did Christ strike tho spark for tho Illumination of tho universe! Out of words. "Let thero bo light," and light was. Of course, thought is tho cargo nnd words nro only the ship; but how fust would your enrgo got on without tho ship? What you need, my friends, in nil your work, in your Sabbath school class, lu your reformatory Institutions, nud w hat wo nil neod is to enlarge our vocab ulary, when wo como to touk about God and Christ and heaven. Wo rldo a few old words to death when there is such illimitable re source. Shakesiienro employed fifteen thou sand duTcront words for dramatic purposes; Milton employed eight thousand different words for jioctia purjsisos; Ilufus Choatu em ployed over eloven thousand different words for legal puriioses; but the most of us have less than a thousand words that we can man age, less than five hundred, and that makes us so stupid. When wo como to sot forth tho lovoof Christ wo aro going to tnko temlerest phrase ology wherever wo find It, and if It has never been used in that direction leforo, all thu moro shall wo uso It. When wo como to speak of tho glory of Christ, the Conqueror, wo aro going to draw our himilm from trl timplml arch and oratorio and everything gruud and stuteudous. Thu French navy havu eighteen Hugs by which thoy givo sig nal, hut thoso eighteen flags thoy can put into slxty-slx thousand different combinations, and I havo to tell you that thoso standards of tho cross may lo lifted into combinations In finite nnd varieties everlasting, And let mo say to tilts young mon who come from tho theological seminaries into our services every Sabbath, and nro utter a whllo going to preach Jesus Christ, you will havo tho largest liberty and unlimited resource. You only have to presotit Christ in jour own way. Jonathan Edwards preached Christ in tho severest argument over penned, and John Bunyan preached Christ in tho sublimest al legory ever comjiostsl. Edward Pnysoii, sick and exhausted, loaned up ngaiust tlio sldo of tho pulpit nud wept out his dlscourso, whllo Georgo Whltefield, with tlio manner nud tlio voice and the start of an actor, ovei n helmed his auditory. It would hnvo tecu n different thing if Jonathan Edwards hid tried to write and dream nbout tho pilgrim's progress to thu celcstiul city, or John Bunyan had nttumpted on cny on thu human u 111. i aiXJKIOUS TIlEMKb.

"Whero sin abounded graco tuny much more nhouud." "Oil, my sins, my sins," said Martin Luther to Hintipltf., "my sins, my slnsl" The fact is thnt the brawny German student lind found a lOtln lllble that made him qunke, mid nothing else ever did mako him qunke, Inn I whnii he found how, through Christ, he was (Mirdoned and saved, ho wrote to a friend, sayingi "Come over and Join us great and awfulsliinersKavisl by tho grace of God You seem to I i only a slender sinner, nnd you don't much extol the mercy of God; hut wu thnt hnvo Uen such very awful sinners praise his grace the mow now thnt no hnvo Ihtii redeemed."

Again, 1 remark, that Christ Is above all in dying alleviations. DltATll. 1 have not any syinimthy with tho morbid ity abroad ulsiut our demlsu. Thu ouqicror of Constantinople arrnugod that ou tlio day of his coronation thu stono mason should como and consult him uUmt tho tomb stone thnt after a while he would need. And there are men who ore monomaiiiacal ou thu subject of di'iMirturu from this llfo by death, and thu more they think of it tho loss they aro prewired to go. This is an umnaulliitwi not worthy of you, not worthy of mo. Saladln, tlio greatest conqueror of his day, whllo dying, ordered that thu tunlo ho had on him bo carried after his death ou his iqtoal' at thu head of his army, and that then tho sol dier uvcr and anon should stop and say, "Be hold, all that is left of Saladln, thu ouiMror und conqueror! Of all thu status hu con quered, of all the wealth ho accumulated, nothing did hu retain but this shroud," I havo no sympathy with such bo.iuwor, in such absurd demonstration, or with much that wo hear uttered hi regard to depa. turo from this bfo to tho next. Thero IA a common-son-sleal idea ou this subject that you ami I need to consider that there aru only two styles of dcKirlure. A thousand feet underground, by light of torch toiling lu a miner's shaft, a ledgu of rock may full iim us, nnd wu may die a miner's death, lar out nt sen, falling from thu slipitery ratlines nnd broken on tho hal yards, wo may dio a sailor's death. On mis sion of mercy In hospital, amid broken bourn and reeking leprosies und raging fovers, w may diu a philanthropist's death. Ou tho field of battle, serving God and our country, slugs through tho heart, tho gun carrlago may roll over us, and wo may dio a vitriol's death. But, nfter all, thero uro only two styles of departure tlio death of tho right eous and the death of thu wicked und wo all want to dio tho former. God grant that when that hour comes you may Im at homol You want thu hand of your kindred in your hand. You want your children to surround you. You want the light on your pillow from eyes that havu long reflected your lovo. You want the room still. You do not waut any curious stran gers standing around watching you. You want your kindred from afar to hear your last prayer. I think that Is thu wish of all of us. Hut is that all) Can earthly friends hold us up when tho billows of death come up to tlio girdle? Can human volco charm iijioii heaven's gate? Can human hand pilot us through thu narrows of death Into heaven's harbor? Can auy earthly friend ship shield us from tho arrows of death aud in tho hour when Satan shall pructico iikii us his Infernal archery? No, no, no, nol Alasl Poor soul If tliatlsull. Bettor dio lu tho wildoritoss, fur from troo shadow and from fountain, alone, vultures circling through tho air waiting for our liody, un known to men, and to havo no burial, If only Christ could say through tho solitudes, "i will never leave theo, I will never forsake thee." From that pillow of stone a ladder would soar heavenward, angels coming and going; and across tho solitude and thu bur reiiiiuss would como the sweet notes of heav enly minstrelsy.

What did dying Wilberforco say to his wife) "Como and sltbosldu mo, and let us talk of heaven. 1 never knew what happiness was until I found Christ." What did dying Hannah Moro say? "To go to heaven, think what that is! To go to Christ, who diod that I might livo. Oh, glorious grave! Oh, what a glorious thing It is to dio! Oh, tho lovo of Christ, thu lovo of Christ!" What did Mr. Toplady, tho great hymn maker, say lu his lust hour? "Who can mens sure tho depths of the third heaven) Oh, the sunshine that fills my soul!
