Dr. Tal wage's text wiu Genesis xxlx, 8, "Ami they said, we cannot, until nil the flocks he gathered together, and till they roll tho tone from tho well's mouth; then wo water tho sheep," TH IIOrtSK TUB KINO OF DRA8TB. Thero are wino reasons why It Is appro priate that I should accept the invitation to preach at this uroat Interstate fair, and to these throngs of countrymen and cltl ens horsemen just como from their lino chargers, tho kliiK of beasts, for 1 take tho crown front tho Hon and put It on tho brow of tho horse, which Is In every way nobler and speak to those shepherds Just eouio from their Docks tho lord himself la one place called a Shepherd and In an other place called a lainb, and all tho good re sheep and preach to you cattlemen corns up from tho herds, your occupation honored by the fact that Ood himself thinks It worthy of Immortal record that ho owns "the cattln on a thousand hills." It Is appropriate that 1 come, because 1 was a farmer's boy, and nover saw a city until I was nearly grown, and, having been born In tho country, 1 never got over It, and would hot dwell In cities a day If my work was not appointed there. My love to you now, and when I get through I will give you my baud, for though I have this summer shaken hands with perhaps forty thousand people In twenty-one states of tho Union, all the way through to Colorado and north and south, I will not concludo my summer vacation till 1 have shaken hands with you. You old farmer out there! How you mako me think of my father! You eldorly woman out thero with cap and spectacles! How you mako mo think of my mothorl And now, whllo tho air of these fair grounds Is filled with tho bleating of sheep, and the neighing of horses, and tho lowing of cattle, I cannot And a more ap propriate text than tho ono 1 read. It la a scone In Mesopotamia, beautifully pastoral. A well of water of great value In that region. The fields around about It whfto with throe flocks of sheep lying down watt ing for the watering. I hear tljelr bleating coming on the bright air, and tho laughter of young men and maidens Indulging In nutlo repartee. 1 look off, and I see other flocks of sheep coming. Meanwhile, Jacob, a stranger, on tho Interesting errand of looking for a wife, oomee to the well. A beautiful shepherdess oomee to the same well. I see her approaching, followed by her father's flock of sheep. It was a mem orable meeting. Jacob married that shep herdess. Tho Dlblo account of It la, "Jacob hissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept." -"-it hi always been a mystery to me what he found to cry about! Dut before that scene occurred Jacob accosts the shep herds and asks them why they postpone the slaking of tho thirst of these sheep, and why they did not Immediately proceed to water them. The shepherds reply to the effect) "We are all good neighbors, and as a matter of courtesy we wait until nil the sheep of the neighborhood come up. Be sides that, this stone on the well's mouth la somewhat heavy, and several of us tako hold of It and push It aside, and then tho buckets and the troughs are filled and tho sheep are satisfied. We cannot, until all the nocks are gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth) then we water he sheep." A TMIISTT WOIILD. Ob, (his Is'fi thirsty worldl Hot for the head, and blistering for the feet, and parch- lag for the torisjue. The world'a great waat Is a cool, refreshing, satlafylng draft. We wander around and And the cistern empty. Long and tedious drought baa dried up the world's fountains, but nearly nineteen cen turies ago a Shepherd, with crook In tho shspe of a cross, and feet cut to the bleed lag, explored the desert passages of this world, and one day came across a well a thousand feet deep, bubbling and bright, and opalescent, and looked to the north, and the south, and the east, and the west, and cried out with a voice strong and musical that raug through the agesi "Ho, every one that thirtieth, come ye to the waters!" Mow, a great flock of sheep today gather around this Gospel welL There are a great many thirsty souls. I wonder why the locks of all nations do not gather why so many stay thirsty; and while I am wonder ing about it, my text breaks forth In the explanation, saying: "We cannot, until all these flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep." tbi asMtUmiM or sheep. If a herdotiwlne come to a well they angrily Jostle each other for the precedence; If a drove of cattle come to a well, they hook each other back from the water, but when the flock of sheep como. though a hundred of them shall be disappointed, they only express It by sad bleating they come together peacefully. We want a great multitude to come around the Gospel welL -1 kuow there are those who do not Uke a crowd they think a crowd la vulgar. If they are oppressed for room In church It makes them positively Impatient and bel ligerent Not so did these oriental shep herd. They waited until all the flocks were gathered, and the more Hocks that came the better they liked It And so we ought to be anxious that all the people should come. Go out Into the highways and the hedges and compel them to come In. Go to the rich aud tell then they are Indigent without the Gospel of Jesus. Go to the poor and tell them the affluence there la In Christ Go to the blind and tell them of the touch that gives eternal Illumination. Go to the lame and tell them of tho joy that will make the lame man leap like a hart Gather all the sheep off of all tho mountains. None so torn of the dogs, none so sick, none so worried, noae so dying as U be omitted. When the fall elections come the whole ,- lead U scoured for voters, and if a man U v too weak or sick to walk to the polls a car riage U sent for bin; but when the que- ties is whether Christ or the devil shall rale this world, how few there are to eome out aad seek the sick, and the loot, and the vsaSerlag, aad the bereft, aad the lame and te)Aee their saffrages for the LoraJesua. Why not gather a ureal flock f All Amor lea In a flock all the world In n flock. This well of tho Gospel Is deep enough to put out tho burning thirst of tho fourteen hundred million of the race. Do not let the church by a spirit of exclutlveneM keep tho world out tat down all the bars, swing open all tho gates, scatter all the In vitations, "Whosoever will, let him como." Come, white and black. Como, red men of tho forest Come, Laplander, out of the snow, Come, Patagonlan, out of tho heat Como In furs. Come, panting under palm leaves. Como one. Como all. Come now. As nt this welt of Mesopotamia Jacob and Itachel were !etrothed, so now, at this well of salvation Christ our Shepherd will meit you coming up with your long Mocks of cures and anxieties, and ho will stretchout his hand In pledge of hi affection, whllo all heaven will cry out, "Heboid tho bride groom cometh; go ye out to meet him." TIIH WKI.L OP SALVATION. You notice that this well of Mesopota mia had n stono on It, which must bo re moved Iwforo tho sheep could bo watered; and 1 llnd on tho well of salvation today Impediment and obstacles, which must bo removed In ordur that you may obtain tho refreshment and Ufa of this Uospol. In your cane, tho Impediment Is prldo of heart You cauiiot.bear to como to so democratic a fountain; you do not want to come with o many others. It is to you llko when you aro dry, coming to a town pump, as compared to sitting In a parlor sipping out of a chased chnllco which has just been lifted from a sliver salvor. Not so many publicans and sinners. You want to get to heaven, but It must bo In a special car, with your feet on a Turkish ottoman and a band of music on board tho train. You do not want to bo in company with rustic Jacob and Ilachel, and to bo drink ing out of the fountain whero ton thousand sheep havo been drinking beforo you. You will havo to remove tho obstacle of prldo, or nover And your way to tho well. You will havo to como as we came, willing to tako tho water of eternal life In any way and at any band, and In any kind of pitcher, crying outt "O Lord Jesus, I am dying of thirst Give me the water of eter nal llfo, whether In trough or goblet Give mo tho water of life; I euro not In wiiat It comcH to me." Away with all your bin druncca of prldo from tho well's mouth. Here Is another man who Is kept Itack from tho water of llfo by tho stone of an ouuurnu) nearc, wnicn lies over mo mouin i of the well. You havo no mora feeling I upon this subject than If Uod bad yet to do you the flrst kindness, or you had to do God the flrst wrong. Seated on his lap all these years, his everlasting arms shelter Ing you, whore Is your gratitude? Where Is your morning and evening prayer? Whero aro your consecrated llvesf I say to you, as Daniel said to Uclsbaunr, "Thu God lu whoso hand thy breath Is, and all thy way, thou bast not glorified." If you treated anybody as badly as you havo treated God, you would have nmcle Avo hundred apologies yea, your whole life would havo been an apology. Tbreo times a day you havo been seated at God's table. Spring, summer, autumn and winter ho has appropriately appareled you. Your health from blm, your com panion from him, your children from him, your homo from him. Alt tlio bright sui roundlngsof your life from him. Ob, man, what dost thou with that hard heart f Canst thou not feel one throb of gratitude tovvanl the Gfd, wtm mado vou, and the Christ who came to redeem you, and the Holy Ghost who has all these years been Importuning your If you could sit dowu Avo minutes uuder the treo of a Saviour's martyrdom, and feel his warm llfo trick ling on your forehead and cheek and hands, mcthluks you would got sotuo appreciation of what you owo to a crucified Jesus. Heart of stone, relent, relent, Touched by Jesus' cross subdued; SUV !! UIA.JT. IUUUgl1.ll, tvut. Covered with a core- of blood. Blnful soul, what hast thou done? Crucified tho Eternal Bon. TARE TIIE BTONK t'ltOM TI1R WKLU Jacob, with a good deal of tug and push, took tho stono from tho well's mouth, so that the (locks might bo watered. And 1 O-.. t.l. l.A.l.. M....f.ft.l .-.. would thut today my word, blessed of 9a1 ll.fc i. . i ri .1 1. . I. a li(nilnl.nA. ..m... getting up to the Gospel well. Yea, 1 tako It for granted that the work is done, and now, like oriental shepherds, I proceed to water the sheep. Come, all yo thirsty I You havo an unde fined longing In your soul. You tried money making; that did not satisfy you. You tried office under government; that did not satisfy you. Yon tried pictures and sculptures, but works of art did not satisfy you. You are as much discontent ed with this llfo as the celebrated French author who felt that ho could not any longer endure tho misfortunes of tho world, and who saldt "At 4 o'clock this afternoon I shall put an end to my own existence. Meauwhlle, I must toll on up to that time for the sustenance of my fam ily." And he wrote on his book until the clock struck 4, when he folded up his man uscript and, by his own band, concluded his earthly lire, There are men hero who aro perfectly discontented. Unhappy In tho post, un happy today, to be unhappy forever, unless you come to tnis uospei well, mis satis fies the soul with n high, deep, all-absorbing and eternal satisfaction. It cornea and It offers the most unfortuuate man so much of this world us Is best for him, and throws all heaven Into the bargain. The wealth of Croesus and of all of the Roths childs, Is only a poor, miserable shilling compared with the eternal fortunes that Christ offers jrou today. In the far east there was a king who used once a year to get on a scales, while on the other side of the scales were placed gold and silver aud gems; Indeed, enough were placed there to balance the king; then, at the close of the welghlug, all those treasures were thrown among the populace. Out Christ today steps on one side the scales, and on the other side aro all the treasures of tho uni verse, and he says; "All nro yours all height, all depth, all length, all breadth, all eternity; all are yours." We don't ap predate the promises of tho Gospel. When an aged clergymau was dying u man very emiuent In the church a young theological student stood by his side, and tho aged man looked up and said to blmt "Can't you give me some comfort in my dying honrf" "No," said the young man; "I can't talk to you on this subject; you know all about it, and have known it so long." "Well," said the dying man, "just recite to me some promises." Tho young man thought a moment, and he camo to this promise, "Tho blood of Jesus Christ cleansetb from all sin;" and the old man clapped his bands aud In bis dying mo ment saldt "That's just the promise I have ueen waiting for. 'iue dioou oi jesus Christ cleauseth from all sin.' " Oh, the warmth, the grandeur, tbe magnificence of tbe promisee! COMB ALL VK TROUBLED. Come, also, to this Gospel well, all ye troubled. I do not suppose you have es caped. Compare your view of this life at fifteen years of age with what your view of It is at forty, or sixty, or seventy What a great contrast of opinion! Were you right then, or are you right now? Twe cup placed lu your hands, rheone a sweet cup, tho other a Mitir cup. A cup of joy ami a cup nf grief. Which has been tbe nearest to being full, and out of which have you thu tuoro frequently partaken? What o different place tho cemetery Is from what It used to be! Onco It was to you a grand city Improvement, aud you went out on the iilenmiro excursion, and ran laughing up thu mound, add you criti cised lu a light way thu epitaph. IIiiInIiicu the day when you heard the boll toll at the gatu an J on went In with tho proicxftlon, it Is a sail place, and thero Is n Hood of rushing memories that sulluso tho eyo and overmaster tho heart Oh, you have had trouble, trouble, trouble. God only knows how much you have had. It U ii wonder you havo been ablo to live through It It Is ii wonder your nervous system has not been nhattored and your brain Iihh not reeled. Trouble, trouble. If I could gather all thuurlcfi of all sorts from this great audlcnco nud could put them lu ono scroll, neither man nor angel could ondiiro thu recitation. Well, what do you watitf Would you llko to have your properly back again? "No," you sjy, us u Christian man; "I was becoming arrogant, and I think that Is w by thu lord took It away. 'I don't want to havo my property, back." Well, would jou havo your departed friends back again? "No," you say; "I couldn't tako tho rcNpoiiHlhlll ty of bringing them from a tearless realm to a realm of tears I couldn't do It." Well, then, what do you want? A thou sand voice In thu audience cry out, "Com fort, Kheus t-umfoit." For that reason I havo rolled away thu stono from tho well's mouth. Come, all yo wounded of the flock, pursued of thu wolves, como to thu fountain whero thu (.ord's sick nud bereft ones havo coma UICBOLATION OK THE 1IKIIKAVED. "Ah," says nomo ono, "you aro not old enough to iindorntand my sorrows. You havo not been In tho world as long as I have, and you cau talk to mo about my misfortunes lu tin) time of old age." Well, I havo been n great deal among old people, and I know bow they feul about their fall ing health, and about their departed friends, and about tho loneliness that sometimes utrlko.H through their soul. After two pontons havo lived together for forty or fifty years and onu of them Is taken away, what desolation! I shall not forgut tho cry of thu lutu Rev, Dr. Do Witt, of Now York, when ho stood by thu open gruvu'of hU beloved wlfo, and, after thu olwo(ules hud ended, ho looked down Into tho open place and said: "Faro well, my honored, faithful and beloved wlfo. Tho bond that bound us Is severed Thou art In glory, and 1 am hero on earth. Wu shall meet again. Faruwelll Fa rowel II" To lean on a prop for fifty years, and then havo it break under youl Thero were only two yearn' difference between tho deaths of my father and mother. Aftor my mother' deceaso my rather used to go around n though looking for something; and bo would often gut up from ono room with out any seeming reason and go to another room; and then ho would take his cano and start out and somu ono would say, "Father, whero aro you going?" and lie would unswer, "I don't know exactly whero I am going." Always looking for something. Though ho was a tenderheart ed man, I never saw him cry but once, ami that was at tho burial of my mother. After sixty years living together, It was hard to part And there are aged people today who aro feeling Just such a pang us that I want to tell them there Is perfect enchantment lu tho promised of this Gospel; aud I como to them and I offor them my arm, or I tako their arm and I bring them to' this Gospel well. Sit down, father or mother, sit down. See if there is anything at tho well for you. Come, David, the psalmist, hates you anything encouraging to offer thorn? "Yes," says the psalmist; "They shall still bring forth fruit lu old ago, they bIiiiII bo fat and flourishing, to show that tho Lord Is upright, ho Is my rock, and thero is no unrighteousness in me." Como, Isaiah, havo you anything to say out of your prophecies for these aged people? "Yes," says Isaiah; "Down to old ago 1 am with thee, and to hoary hairs will I carry thee." Well. If tho Lord is going to carry you, you ought not to worry much about your falling eyesight and falling limbs. You get a Itttlo worried for fear sometime you will como to want, do you? Your children and grandchildren sometimes speak ullttlo sharp at you because of your ailments. Tho Lord will not speak sharp. Do you think you will como to want? Who do you think tho Lord la? Aro his granaries empty? Will he feed the raven and tbe rabbit, and tho lion in the desert, and for get you? Why, naturalists tetl us that the porpoise will not forsake its wounded and sick mate. And do you suppose tho Lord of heaven aud earth has not as much sym pathy as tho fish of tho sea? Dut you sayt "I am so near wornout, and I am of no use to God any more." I think tho Lord knows whether you are of any more uso or not; if you were of no more use he would have taken you before this. Do you think God has forgotten you because ho hus takeu euro of you seventy or eighty years? He thinks mora of you today than ho ever did, because you think more of him. May tho God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Paul tho aged bo your God for ever! OATIIER TOUR FLOCKS. But I gather all tbe promises today In a group, and I ask the shepherds to drive their flocks of lambs and sheep up to tho sparkling supply. "Behold, happy Is the man whom Godcorrecteth." "Though bo cause grief, yet will ho havo compassion." "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the IxrJ dellvereth him out of them all." "Wteplng may endure for a night, but joy cometh In tho morning." I um de termined today that no ono shall go away uncomfortcd. Yonder Is a timid and shriuking soul who seems to hide away from tbe consolations I am uttering, as n child with a soro hand bides away from tho physician lest ho touch tho wound too roughly, and the mother has to go nnd compel tho little patient to como out and sco the physician. So I coma to your timid and shrinking soul today, and compel you to como out In tho presence or tho Ulvme mysicntn. lie will not hurt you. Ho has been healing wounds for many years, and ho will give you gentle and omnipotent medicament But people, wheu they have trouble, go anywhere rather than to God. De Qulncy took opium to get rid of bis troubles. Charles Lamb took to punch. Theodore Hook took to something stronger. Kdwln Forrest took to theatrical dissipation. And men havo run all around tho earth, hoping lu tho quick trauslt to get away from their misfortunes. It has been a dead failure. Thero Is only one well tha,t can slake tho thirst of an afflicted spirit, and that is the deep and Inexhaustible well of the Gospel. TIIE TIIOUdHT OK HEAVEN. But some one says, lu tho audience, "Notbwlthstundlng all you have said this morning, I find no alleviation for mv troubles." Well, I am not through yet I have left tbe most potent consideration for the last. 1 am going to soothe youwjtfc iVhqji. t'uawia'.;yfc?,aai- 'n & jut-miik.

The spring morning of heaven, waving Its blossoms lu tho bright air. Vic tors fresh from battto showing their scars. Tho rain of earthly sorrow struck through with the rainbow of eternal joy. In one group, God and angels and tho rcdeoinul I'aul and Silas, Ijiitlmcr and Ridley, Isaiah and Jeremiah, I'ayson and John Milton, Gabriel and Michael tho arch iingcl.

Ob, what a great flock of sheep God will gather around tho celestial well. No stone on thu well's mouth whllo the shepherd waters tho sheep There Jacob will recog nlu Rachel the shepherdess. And stand lug on onu side of thu well of eternal rap turu your children, and standing on tlio other sldu of tlio well of eternal rapture your Christian ancestry, you will bo bounded on all sides by u Joy so keen and grand that no other world has"cver been permitted to experience It Out of that onu deep well of heaven thu Shepherd will dip reunion forthebcrcaed, wealth for thu poor, health for thu sick, rest for thu weary. Aud then all tho flock of thu Lord's sheep will lio down in tho green pastures, and world without end wo will pralsu thu Lord that on this first autumnal Sabbath of IbOl wo wero per mitted to study among thu bleating flocks and lowing herds of tills fair ground tbe story of Jacob and Rachel the shepherdess, ut tho well lu Mesopotamia. Ob, plungo your buckets Into this great Gospel woll and let them como up dripping with that water of whicli if a mau drink ho nover again shall thirst A Mine of Honey. Down at Tcmcscal, San Bernardino county, near tho famous San. Jacinto tin mine, thero Is a vcrltnblo ml no of honey. There Is a largu forco of men employed at tho tin uiluu, aud they put In their Idlu tlmu prospecting In tho bills of tbo vicin ity. Ono Sunday half a dozen of the min ers applied to Colonel Robinson, tbo super intendent, for the privilege of using somu giant powder and n fow tools. Ho asked them what they wanted to do, and they re plied that they had found a honey mine, nnd proposed to tap It laughing, he gavo his consent and an order on the store keeper for the desired articles, and, with a supply of palls and tubs, tho men set out on their expedition. Thoy were gono all day, and along to ward sundown a sorry looking procession camo over thu hill and mado its way to tho employees' headquarters. They had tapped tho mine, there could bo no question about that. Thoy wero sticky with honey from head to foot Hair and beard dripped with It, llko unto tbo appearance of Aaron when ho was anointed, even bo that tho oil ran all over him and down to his feet Their clothes were liberally plastered with a mix turo of honey nnd mud; thero was honey everywhere But tbo tubs and buckets Were full of houcv as well, for a rich lead had Indeed been struck. Tho men, it appeared, had found a crev Ico In the rocks whence Issued a constant stream of bees nnd from this they judged that thero must Ira a largo quantity of honey in tho recesses of the cliff. Tho opening used by tbo bees was too small to admit of tho passage of n human being and after carefully examining tbo place a tun nel was commenced a little way from tbe entrance nnd after this had been run tho right distance an upraise was put In which by good luck struck tbo ledgo of honey In Its center. After a hot contest with the bees suvoral hundred pounds of comb honey wero taken out and tho tunnel was then closed up. Several times since addi tional supplies of tho sweet material have been taken from tbo cave. Sau Francisco Chronicle, A Huron hi u Car Driver. Hundreds of street car conductors and drivers gathered at thu morgue of tho Gen eral hospital ou tbo morning of July 20 to attend thu funoral of their late comrade, Car Driver Erwln (Baron Frey von Schoen stein), tho last male member of a very no ble family. The heavily draped hearse, drawn by four horses, was quite In contrast with the simple mourners who followed It and tho costly metal casket in which the remains rested, hidden under many costly floral gifts. When Baron Schoenstcln became of age be Inherited several million florins and big estates, which ho squandered. Everything gone, ho resigned his commission as flrst lieutenant in the dragoons, nnd when con fronted by poverty he did not resort to tho pistol, but took a inoru philosophic view of life, aud accepted a position as supervisor of the street railways. Once in awhile, when brought Into contact In a business way with those who in former years were only too glad to toady to him, tho baron be came offensive to such a degree that at last his employers found It necessary to reduce him to the rank of cardrlver. This position he Ailed with military punctuality, and only onco In awhile, when ho received a small remittance from some relative, did he absent hiufself long enough to spend It Tho baron's widow and her brother, a captain In the dragoons, attended tho funeral, the expenses of which were de frayed by u well known Vienna countess. Herr Von Turba, the director of the tram way company, and several prominent oftl clals attended the funeral. Vienna Frele Presso. Saved by Tramfuslou. Transfusion hus saved tho life of Benja min Clayton, who was admitted to tho L Pennsylvania hospital Sunday night suf fering from a stab in the leit rorearm. When admitted to tlio hospital ho was in a very weak condition irom loss or. blood, nnd thu operation of tying tbo blood ves sels with ligatures and closing thu wound prostrated him so completely that he failed to respond to hypoderuilo stimulants, nud as a last resource to save his llfo Dr. Scott determined upon transfusion. A solution consisting of sixteen grains of carbonate of soda and ninety-eight grains of common salt, dissolved In n quart of distilled water aud heated to n temperature of 103 degs., was prepared and Injected into one of tbo veins of thu forearm. Owing to thu smullncss of tho vein tho solution did not flow well, aud tho patient, notwithstanding hypodermic Injections of ether and whisky, continued to sluk rapid ly. A second attempt at transfusion was made, the solution being injected into a vein of thu left foot, and an almost imme diate change lo his condition was noticed, aud at 0 o'clock on Monday morning tho crisis has passed, und from that timo on bis improvement was rapid, aud be is now well enough to leave tbo hospital.
