Have these chair any lesson for us to learn f Aro we any batter men and women than when they first addressed usf TATIIRH'S CBAttl. First I Mint out to jou tho father's va cant 'chair, f Old men alway like to sit 1b the same place' and In the same chnlr. They somehow feel mora nt home, nud sometimes when you aro in their plnce nnd they come into the room you Jump up sud denly and say, "Here, father, hero's your chair." The probability la It Is an arm chair, for he Is not so strong ns ho once was, and he needs a little upholding. His hair Is a llttlo frosty, his gums n little de pressed, for lu his early day there was not much dentistry. Perhaps a enno chnlr and old fashioned apparel, for though you may have suggested some Improvement, father does not want any of your nonsense. Grandfather never hnd much admiration for new fangled notlous, I sat at tho table of one of my parish ioners in a fonner congregation; an aged man was at the table, and the son wns pre siding, and tho father some what abruptly addressed the son and said, "My son, don't now try to show off because the minister la herel" Your fnther uevor liked any new customs) or manners; ha preferred the old war of (doing things, aad he never looked C'Taapps aa when, with his eyes closed, ha A With armchair In the corners From tha wrinkled brow to tb tip of the slippers, what placidity I The Wave of the past years of his life broke nt tho foot of thnt chnlr. Perhaps sometimes he was a little Impa tient, and sometimes told the same story twice; but over that old chair how many blessed memories hoverl I hope you did not crowd that old chair, and that It did not get very much in the way. Sometimes the old man's chair gets very much In the way, especially if he has been so unwise aa to make over all his property to his children, with the understanding that they are to take cure of hi in. 1 have seen in such oases children crowd the old mau's chair to the door, and then crowd It clear into the street, aud then crowd It Into the poorhouse, and keep on crowding it until the old man fell out of It Into his nt"yourfasW'sTcs3f was 'a sacred plnae.y'iTheekllojten ueedfco cllm up on tba'ruagsof tyfora apodlght kiss, and tae loager he stawd tt better you Uked it. But that chair has" been"' vacaut now for some time. The furniture dealer would not give you fifty cents for it, but It is a throne of Influence In your domestic circle. I saw In be French palace, and In the throne rooni, the chnlr thnt Napoleon used to occupy. It was a beautiful chair, but the most significant part of it wns the letter "N" embroidered Into the back of tho chair In purple and gold. And your fath er's old chair slu In the throne room of your heart, aud your affections have em broidered into the back of that old chair In purple and gold the letter "F." Have all the prayers of that old clmlr been answer ed? Have all the counsels of that old chair been practiced f Speak outt old armchair. History, tells us of an old man whose tfcaee sons wore victors n the Olympic games, and when they came back these three sons, with their garlands, put them en the father's brow, aud the old man was so lejoloed at the victories of his three chlldrea that he fell dead in their arms.

That vnsj tbcf Imak wnrro wo urpim urn nil nur nun nun nur- rlea. Ahl what n chair thnt was. It wns different from the fnther' chnlr; It was en tlrely different. You nsk me howf I enn not tell; but we nil felt It wns differ ent. Perhaps there wns nhout this chnlr more kviitleness, moro tondvruvM, more grltf rhon we hnd done wrong. When we were way ward fnther scolded, but mother cried, Ut wn n very wnkvful clinlr. In the sick dny of children other chnlrt could not keen nwnke; thnt chnlr nlwnys kept nwnke kept easily nwnke. Tho chnlr knew nil tho old lullnble nnd nil tho. wordless song which mother slug to their sick children noun In which nil pity nnd compnnn nnd sympathetic Inllui'iico are combined. That old chnlr has stopped rocking for it good many year. It may Ira set up In tin loft or the garret, hut It holds n queenly poner yet. When nt midnight you went Into thnt grog shop to get the Intoxicating draught, did you not hear a voice thnt mild, "My son, why go In theror" And louder thnn tho bolstvrou encore of tho plnce of sinful nmusement, n voice saying, "My aon, whnt do you do heror" And when you went Into the house of abandonment, n volcu snylng, "Whnt would your mother do If she knew you were herer" Aud you weru provoked with yourself, nud you charged yourself with superstition and fa naticism nnd your head got hot with your own thoughts, and you went homo nud you went to bed, nnd no sooner had you touched tho bed thnn a volco snldi "What I n prayerlcM plllowf Mnnl what Is tho tnnttcrf" This, You nro too near your inother's rocking chnlr. "Oh, pshnwl" you sny. "There' noth ing In thnt. I'm flvo hutidred miles off from whero I wns born. I'm three thou sand mile off from tho church whoso hell wns tho llrst muslo I ever heard." I can not help thnt. You nre too near your mother's rocking chnlr. "Oh," you sny, "there can't bo nuythlng in thnt. Thnt chnlr has been vncnnt n grent while." I cannot help that: It is all the mightier for tbat. It Is omnipotent, that vacant moth er's chair. It whisper, it speaks, It weeps, It enrols, It mourn, It prays, It wnrns, It thunder. A young man went off nnd broko his mother's heart, and while ho was awny from home his mother died, nnd tho telegraph brought the son, nnd he camu Into tho rooui whero sho lny nnd looked upon her face, and he cried out: "Oh, mother, mother, whnt your lifo could not do your death shall effect! Thl moment I glvo my heart to God." And ho kept his promise. Another victory for tho vacant chnlr. With reference to your mother the word of my text were fulfilled, "Thou shnlt be missed, becnuse thy seat will be empty.1' TDK INVALID'S ClIAIIi. 1 go ou u llttlo further, nnd I come to the Invalid's chair. Whatl How long hnvo you tieen slckf "Oh! I hnvo been sick ten, twenty, thirty years." Is It poidblor Whnt it story of endurance. Thero nre in many of tho families of my congregation these Invalid' chnlr. Tho occupant of them think they nro doing no good in the world, but thnt Invalid's chair I tho mighty pulpit from which they hnvo been preach ing, nil these years, trust in God. The first tlmo 1 preached here nt Lakeside, Ohio, amid tho throng present, there wo noth ing thnt so much Impressed moan the spec tncle'of just one face the face of an In valid who wns wheeled In. on her ohalr. 1 said to her nfterwanl. "Madam, how long have you been prostrated f" for she was lying tint In the chair. "Ohl" sho replied, "I hnvo been this wny fifteen years." 1 said, "Do you suffer very muchr" "Oh, yes," she snld, "I suffer very much; I suffer all the time; part of the time I was blind. I always sutler." "well," I snld, "can you keep your courage upf" ."Oh, yes," she said, "I am happy, very happy Indeed." Her fnco showed It. Sho looked tho happiest of any oho on tho ground. Oh, whnt n mean of graca to the world, tbeno Invalid chairs. On that field of hu man suffering the grnco of God gets Its victory. Kdwnrd I'ayson, the Invalid, nnd Hlchard Baxter, tho Invalid, and Robert Hall, tho Invalid, nnd the ten thou sand of whom the world has never heard, but of whom all heaven 1 cogulznnt. Tho most conspicuous thing on enrth for God's eye nud the eye of nugels to rest on, Is tint a throne o( earthly power, but It Is tho In valid's chair. Oh, these men aud women who are always suffering but never com plaining these victims of spinal disease, and neuralgic torture, and rheutaatlo ex crueJatlotwllljatuwerxto the roll coll of tho martyrs, and rise to 'the martyr's throne, nnd will wave tho martyr's palm. But when one of these Invalids' chair becomes vacant how suggestive it isl No moro bolstering up of the wenry hend. No moro chnuglug from side to side to get an easy position, No more use of the band age and the cataplasm nud the prescrip tion. Thnt Invalid's chair may bo folded up or taken apart or set away, but It will never lose Its queenly power; It will al ways preach of trust In God and cheerful submission. Suffering all ended now. With respect to that invalid the words of my text have been fulfilled, "Thou shnlt be mtssod, becauso thy seat will be empty, THAT EMPTY 1I10II CHAIR. I pass on and I find one more vacant chain It U a high chair,. Jt is the child's chair. If that ofeidnbe ooeu pled I.thlnk It is the most poteut ehalr In ail tho house hold. 'All the chair wait oa' It; all the chain are turned toward It. It means more tbau David's chnlr'at Saul's banquet. 'At any rate it makes more racket. That is a strange house tbat cnu be dull with a child in it. How that child breaks up the hard worldllness of tho place and keep you young to sixty, seventy and eighty years of ngo. If you have no child of your own adopt one; It will open heaven to your soul, it will puy Its way. It crowing In the morning will kIvo the day a cheerful starting, aud lu glee, at night will give the day a cheerful close. You do not like chil dren 1 Then you had better stay out of heaven, for there nro so mnuy there they would fairly make you crazy. Only about five hundred millions of them. The old crusty Pharisees told the mothers to keep the children awny from Christ. "You bother him they' said; "you trouble the Master." Trouble blml He has tilled heaven with that kind of trouble. A pioneer in California nays that for the first year or two after his residence In merra ruevaaa county thero was not a tingle child In all the reach of a hundred miles.

But the muslo went on, aa taeahlUerled louder aad louder, and the brass band played louder and louder, trying to drown out the Infantile Interruption, woes fare, got up nud shook bis flit and snld, "Stop th it noly band, nnd glvo tho baby n chance," Oh, theie wns pathos (n it, n wellngj(d cheer lu It, There I nothing toarotlic nud iltaiid subdue tho soul like n child's voice But when it goes nwny from you the high chnlr becomes n higher chnlr nud there Is desolation nil nhout you. lu threc-fourthsof the homes of thl con grrgntlou there Is n vncnnt high chnlr. Somehow yqu never get over It. Thero is no olio to put to bed Ht night; no one to nsk strmigc questions about (Jul and heaven. Oh, wliat is tho iiseof thnt flgh chalrf It Is to call you higher, What n drawing up ward It Is to hnvo children lu heaven I And then It Is such n preventive against sin.

Oh, speak out, vncnnt high chnlr, nnd nyi "Father, como bad; from slu; mother, como back from world llness. I nut witching you. I am waiting fory6u." With respect to your child tho words of my text hnvo la-en fulfilled, "Thou tlialt bo missed, because thy sent will ln empty." AS INVITATION UI'WAIttl. My bearers, I hnvo gathered up the voice of your departed friend nnd tried to Intone them into one Invitation upward. I set In nrrny nil the vncnnt chnlr of your home and of your soclnl circle, nud Ibid them cry out this morning: "Time isshort Eternity Is near. Take my Saviour, llent pence with my God. Como up where I am. We lived together on earth; como let us live together In heaven." Wo nnswer thnt Invitation. Wo come.

And oh when wo nro nil through with this world, nud wo hnvo shaken hands nil around for tho Inst time, nnd nil our chnlr in the homo circle nnd iu the outsldo world shall be vacant, tuny wo be worshiping God In thnt plnco from which wo shall go out no moro forever.

How much you have lieen through since you saw them last r On tho shining shoro you will talk It nil over. The heart nehes. Tho loneliness.

Story of empty crndle nud llttlo shoe only half worn out, never to be worn again, just tho shapo of tho foot that once pressed It. And dreams when you thought the depnrted had come back again, nud tho room seemed bright with their faces, nud you started up to greet them nud in the effort tho dream broko and you found yourself standing nmld room In tho midnight nlono. Talking It nil over, and then, hand in hniul, walking up nnd down lu tho light. No sorrow, no tears, no death. Oh, heaven I beautiful heaven I Heaven whero our friends nre. Heaven whero wo expect to be. In tho east they take a cngo of birds and bring It to the tomb of tho dead, nnd then they open the door of tho cngo, and the birds, flying out, slug. Aud I would today bring a cngo of Christian consola tions to the grave of your loved ones, nnd I would opit the door and let them fill nil the air with the muslo of their voices. Oh, how they bound lu theso spirits be fore tho throne! Some shout with glad ness. Some break forth Into uncoutrolln bio weeping for Joy. Some stand speech less In their shock of delight. They slug. They quiver with excessive gladne. They gazo on the temples, on tho palace, ou tho waters, on each other. Thoy weave their joy into garlands, they spring It Into tri umphal arches, they strike in on timbrel, and then all the loved ones gather iu n great circle mound the throno of God fa ther, mother), brothern, sisters, sons and daughtera, lovers and friends, hand to hand around about tho throne of God tho circle ever widening bund to hand, joy to Joy, Jubilee to Jubilee, victory to victory, "until tho day break and the nbadows fleo nwny. Turn thou, my beloved, nnd be liken roe or a young hart upon tho moun tains of Uether." To Keep the Home Cool. Much of the heat of our houses Is sup plied by the kitchen range, which Urldget keep red hot oven lu the dog days. Pre vent this by using n gan stove or oil stove as far as possible. Then shut up tight nil rooms not In use. Not only should the shutters nnd wlndoaws be closed, but the blinds must be lowered to exclude every rny of light, nnd the doors locked to pre vent the running In nnd out of tho chil dren, who thus admit waves of heated nlr. Perhaps It would be neither wise nor prac ticable to herinutlcallv seal nil the rooms of a house, but one room, nt least, can bo so treated the parlor, nnd also the dining room between meal; the room selected should be closed early In tho morning while tho nlr has some freshness, und !o foro the sun strikes the windows; then it should not Iw opened until Into In tho after noon. . Every house should have nn accessible trap door In Its roof, and when this Is left open n current or heated nlr must rlsu through It nnd make n general draught over nil the house. Awnings should be light in color, and should be nt nil windows and doors except those to the north. They are great helps lu keeping out glare, but thoy should lie chosen of a kind which Is readily raised nnd lowered. After sun down, n plentiful watering of your street and pavement, nnd of nil the gardeu you possess, will cool the nlr wonderfully. Ladles' Homo Journal. Women and Mee. Society is composed, principally, of women nnd Indies. They cnll upon each other nud boro each other fearfully, yet each would feel mortally Injured If tho other did not cnll. The natural prey of mnn Is woman, nnd of woman, mnn; hut mnn has less leisure to pursue hi natural Instincts. The appreciation by which a woman is held by the mnlo sex gives n good index, on the Inverse ratio method, of tho estimation in which she Is held by her own. Nor, though husband nud wife uro ouo and Indivisible, does it follow that the admirer of the one will be equally attached to the other? Politically speaking.

"Yes. we will have npneo ket apart for the exhibition of our charities and cor rectiomi appliances," ttnld Mr. Craig. "We will Imvq fioctlonn of prisons und jails of barbaric ideas, which nro passing off very rapidly; also models of prisons nnd jalln representing the modern nnd advanced ideas in the care of criminal In twenty years there has been won derful change in the care and treatment of the criminal. We have Bet the pare of thin reform and European countries followed public sentiment. While theio Is much yet, to 1k corrected iu our pris ons, I can cheerfully say that tho prison er today In treated moro liko a human being. The criminal is taught now. Before ho was tortured. Look at our Eltnlra reformatory. "The commissioners of charities nnd correction at tho big convention held at Indianapolis were all loud in their praise of this institution nnd looked on it in every wuy ita a model. Wo want to reform, and white there uro many stumbling blocks we aro getting there. Our prlbon wardenn nre more humane. The men nro encouraged and nio no longer overworked. While there are still dark cells nnd certain modes of punish ment to which many peoplo object, I would wiy conservatively wo cannot al together dispenso with punishment from prison rules. Some men you cannot re form, and these fellows aro always cre ating a disturbance. It is necessary nt times, in order to keep discipline, to pro vido severe punishment for the unruly. "But tho greatest reform is in the quartern provided for the criminals. While in New York stato wo need some new prisons, our prisons nro models of cleanliness and ventilation, The men in charge of them are competent, intelli gent fellows with humatio natures. Tho thousands who visit tho World's fair will be greatly interested no doubt nt the great collection of torturing para phernalia of tho past. It is most aston ishing, though, how quickly tho peoplo have changed their minds its to the treat ment of the criminal. Sympathy is tho ruling idea now with Americans. Of this we show more to our unfortunate classes than any other nation in tho world. The solicitude of our people for the poor and suffering cared for iu our public institutions of charity is also very great Every foreign visitor who ex amines our bcheme of charity is pro foundly impressed by its magnitude aud its comprehnMvenesj.
