The national flower of tho Kgyptlnu In

of the Chinese Is the chrysanthemum. We
have no national flower, but therein hardly
ny flower mot-u suggestive to many of
Be thnn tho forgetmenot. Wo nil like to
be rcmem)ered, and onuof our misfortunes
U that there are so many things we cannot
remember. Mnemonics, or the art of ns
alttlng tnctuory, Is an Important nrt. It
waa first suggested by Slinonldes of Coa
Are hundred years before Christ.
Persons who had but little jwwer to re
call events, or put facts And names nnd
datca in proper processions, have through
this nrt hud their memory re-enforced to,
an nlmost lucrcdiblu extent. A good
memory is an Invaluable possession, lly
all means cultivate It. I had An aged
friend who, detained all night at n miser
able depot In waiting for a rail train fast
in the miowh. nks, entertained a group of
some ten or fifteen clergymen likewise de
tained on their way homo from a meeting
of presbytery, llrst, with a piece of
chalk, drawing out on the black and sooty
walls of the epot the characters of Wal
ter Scott's "Marmlon," and then reciting
from memory the whole of that poem of
some eighty pages In line print.
My old friend through great age lost his
memory, nnd when I asked him if this
story of the railroad depot was .true, he
aid, "I do not remember now, but it was
jnat like me." "Let me see," said ho to
me, "have I ever seen you before?" "Yes,"
I said, "you were my guest Inst night nnd
I was with you an hour ago." What an
awful contrast in that man between the
greatest memory I over knew nnd no mem
ory at all.
A SPLENDID FACULTV.
Bat right along with this nrt of recollec
tion, which 1 cannot too highly eulogize, .Is
one quite as liuH)rtnnt, and yet. I never
heard it applauded. I mean the nrt of for
getting. Theru is a splendid faculty in
that direction that wunll need to cultivate.
We might through that process lie ten
times happier and more useful than wo
now nre. We have liven told that forget
fulness is n weakness and ought to bc
avoided by all possible means. So fur from
a weakness, my text ascribes it to God. It
la the very top of omnipotence that God is
able to obliterate a part of Ids own mem
ory. If wo repent of sin and rightly seek
the divine forgiveness, thu record of the
misbehavior is not only crossed off the
books, but God actually lets it pass out of
memory.
"Their sins and their iniquities will I re
member no more." To remember no more
la to forget, and you cannot make anything
else out of it. Gist's powerof forgetting is
so great that I! two men appeal tohlm.nnd
the onu man, after a lifu nil right, gets the
ains of his heart pardoned, and thu othet
man, nfter u I. ' jf abomination gets par
doned, God reu.'.ibers no more against
one than against the other. The entire
post of both thu moralist, with his Imper
fections, and thu profligate, with his de
baucheries, is as much obliterated in thu
one case us in thu other. Forgotten, for
ever nnd foiever. "Their sins and their
iniquities will I reaiember no more."
This sublime attribute of forgetfuluess
on the part of GihI you and I need, in our
finite wnj to imitate. You will du will
to cast oiu of your recollection all wrongs
done j on, During the course of one's life
he is sure to bo misrepresented, to bu lied
about, to be injured. Theiu are those who
keep these things fresh by frequent ru
bearsnl. If things have appeared iu print,
they keep them in their scrnphook, for
they cut these precious paragraphs out of
newspapers or books, and at leisure times
look them over, or they have them tied up
in bundles, or thrust iu pigeonholes, and
they frequently regale themselves and
their friends by an inspection of these
flings, these surcnsnis, these falsehoods
these cruelties.
I have known gentlemen who enrried
them in their pocketbooks, so that they
could easily get at these irritations, and they
pat their right hand In the Inside of the
coat pocket over their heart and say: "Look
here! Let mu show you something." Sci
entists catch wasps and hornets and poi
sonous Insects anil trausflx them in curios
ity bureaus for study, and that is well.
But these of whom I speak catch tho wasps,
and the hornets, and poisonous Insects, and
play with them, nnd put them on them
selves and on their friends, nnd see how
far the noxious things can Jump, and show
how deep they can sting. Have no such
scrnphook. Keep nothing in your posses
sion that Is disagreeable. Tear up the
Jalftehoods, and the slanders, and the hyper
criticisms. Imitate tho Lord In my text and forget,
actually forget, sublimely forget. There
is no happiness for you iu any other plan
or procedure. You see all around you, iu
the church anil out of the church, dlsposl
tlons acerb, malign, cynical, pessimistic.
Do you know how these men and women
got that disposition? It was by the em
bnliumeut of things pantherlne and viper
ous. They hnvo spent much of their time
in calling the roll of all thu rats that have
nibbled at their reputation. Their soul is
n cage of vultures. Everything iu them is
sour or imbittered. Thu milk of human
kindness has been curdled. They do not
believe in anybody or anything. If they
see two people whispering, they think it is
about themselves. If they see two people
laughing, they think it is about them
selves. Where there is one sweet pippin in their
orchard, there are llfty crab apples. They
have never been ublu to forget. They do
not want to forget. They never will lor
get. Their wretchedness is supreme, for
no one can be happy If he carries perpetu
ally in mind thu mean things that have
been done him. On the other hand, you
can And heiu and there a man or woman
(for there are not many of them) whoso
disposition is genial i ud summery. Why?
Have they nlways been treated well? Oh,
no. Hard Oilug have been said against
them. Thr j." hnvo been charged witlinlll
clousuess; and their generosities have been
set down to a desire for a display, and they
have inuuy u time been the subject of tit-tle-tattlu,
and they have hud enough small
Assaults uke gnats t lid enough great At
tacks Ilk lions to have made them perpet
ually miserable, If they would hnvo con
sented to be miserable. Hut they have had
enough divine philosophy to cast oil the
nunnyanccs, and they have kept tlicmsehes
iu the sunlight of God's favor and have
realized that these opjsisltlons and Idle
tlrnneesaren Hirt of a mighty discipline,
by which they nre to lie prepared for use
fulness and heaven. Thu secret of It all is,
they have by the help of the Kternnl God
learned how to forget.
AN AIT ILLUHTIIATIOK,
Another practical' thoughtsSWhen our
faults arc repented of let them go out
of mind. If God forgets them, we have a
right to forget them. Having once re
pented of our liifcllclt les mid misdemeanors,
there is no need of our repenting of them
again. Suppose I owe you a largo sum of
money, nod you nre persuaded I am Inca
pacitated to pay, nnd you give mo acquit
tnl from that obligation. You snyt "lean
eel that debt. All Is right now. Start
Again." And tho next day 1 come In and
say: "You know alsiul that big debt 1
owed you. I have come Iu to get you to
let me off. I feel no bad about it 1 cannot
rest. Do let mo off." You reply with n
little Impatience: "I did let you off. Don't
bother yourself and bother me with any
more of thnt discussion."
The following day I come iu nnd say:
"My dear sir, about that debt. I can never
get over the fact that I owed you that
money. It is something that weighs on
my mind like a millstone. Do forgive me
that debt." This time you clear lose your
patience nnd say: "You are a nuisance.
What do you mean by this reiteration of
thnt affair? I am nlmost sorry I forgave
you that debt. Do you doubt my veracity
or do 'you not understand the plain lan
guage In which I told you that debt was
canceled?"
Well, my friends, there nre many Chris
tians guilty of worse folly than that.
While It Is right that they repent of new
sins nnd of recent sins, what Is the use of
bothering yourself and Insulting God by
asking him to forgive sins that long ago
were forgiven? God has forgotten them.
Why do you not forget them? No; you
drag the load on with you and 305 times u I
year, u you pray every day, you ask God
to recall occurrences which he bus not only
forgiven but forgotten. Quit this folly. 1 I
do not ask you less to realize the turpi- '
tilde of sin, but I ask you to u higher faith .
in the promise of God nnd thu full dellv
ernnco of his mercy. He does not give a
receipt for part payment or so much re-
ceived on account, but receipt In full, God
having for Christ's sake decreed, "your
sins nnd your Iniquities will I remember
no mure."
Ah far as possible let the disagreeables
of life drop. We have enough things In
oi mo uroii. vu nave ciioukii iiiuigH in i
tho present, and there will lie enough Iu
the future to disturb us. without run g
a npeclnl train Into thu great gqtu-Uy to
fetch us as special freight things left be
hind. Some ten venrs mro. when there wiu
a great railroad strike, I remember seeing
all along thu route from Omaha to C 1 1 1
cago, and from Chicago to New York,
hundreds and thousands of freight cars
switched ou the side tracks, those cars
loaded with all kinds of perishable mate
rial, decaying and wasting. After the
strike was over did the railroad companies
bring all that perished material down to
tho markets? No, they threw it off where
it was destroyed, and loaded up with some
thing else.
Let the long train of your thoughts
throw off the worse than useless freight of
a corrupt and destroyed past, und load up
with gratitude and faith and holy deter
mination. We do not please God by the
cultivation of tho miserable. He would
rather sco us happy than to see us de
pressed. You would rather see your chil
dren laugh than to see them cry, and your
heavenly Father has no fondness for hys
terics. DON'T 81IOW lUNOIII.K SCAItS.
Not only forget jour pardoned trnnn
gressions, hut allow others to forget tliein.
The chief stock on hand of many coplc is
to recount iu prayer meetings and pulpits
what big scoundrels they once were. They
not only will not forget their forgiven defi
cits, but they Mem to be determined that
the church and the world shall not forget
them. If you want to declare that you
have been the chief of sinners nnd e.tol
the grace that could snvu such a wretch
a: you were, do so, but do not go Into par
ticulars. Do not tell bow many times you i
gut drunk or to what bad places you went,
or how many free rides you had Iu the
prison van licforu you weru converted.'
Lump it, brother; give it to us iu bulk.
If you hnve any scars got iu honorable
warfare, show them; but if you have scars
got In ignoble warfare, do not display them.
I know you will quote thu lllble reference
to thu horrible pit from which you were
digged. Yes, bo thankful for that rescue, .
but do not make displays of the mud of
that horrible pit, or splash It over other'
people. Sometimes 1 have felt ill Christian '
meetings discomfited and unfit for Chris-
tiau service becuuse I had done none of
those things which seem to Is iu the i
estimation ot many necessary for Chris '
tinn usefulness, for I never swore u
word, or ever got drunk, or went i
to compromising places, or was guilty '
of assault and battery, or ever ut- i
tered a slanderous word, or ever did any
one a hurt, although I know my heart was
sinful enough, nud I said to myself, "Theie
Is no usu of my trying to do any good, for 1
never went through those depraved experi
ences;" but afterward I saw consolation In
thu thought that no onu gained any ordi
nation by thu laying on of the hands of
dissoluteness and infamy. And though an
ordinary moral life, ending in a Christian
life, may not bu as dramatic a story to tell
about, let uh lie grateful to God rather
I than worry ulmut it, If wu have nevei
j plunged Into outward abominations,
i It may be appropriate iu a meeting of re-
formed drunkards or reformed debauchees
to quote for those not reformed how ci,-
perutu and nasty you once were, hut do not
, drive a scavenger's cm t into assemblages
of people, thu most of whom have alwajs
been decent and respectable. Hut I have
I been sometimes iu great evangelistic meet
i lugs where people went into particulars
1 about the sins that they once committed
so much so that I felt liheputtlngmy hand
' on my pocket book or calling for the police
j lest these reformed men might fall from
' grace and go at their old business of theft
or drunkenness or ciitthiiMtcry. If jour
sins have been forgiven and your lifepuri
lied, forget the waywardness of the past.
and allow others to forget it.

Hut what 1 most want in the light of
this text to impress upon n y hearers and
! readers Is that wu have a sin forgetting

itself being flung into llorv demolition
I supposing that ou that last day a group of

far alsivu a sin pardoning God,
How often we hear It said, "I can forgive,
but I cannot forget." That is equal to
saying, "I verbally admit It is nil right,
but I will keep thu old grudge giMsl." Hu
man forgiveness is often a flimsy affair. Il
does not go deep down. It docs not rench
far up. Itdoes not tlx things up. The con
tcstants may shako hands or, passing each
other on the highway, they may speak tho
"Gixsl morning" or the "Good night," but
the old cordiality never returns. Tho rein
tlons always remain strained. There Is
something Iu the demeanor ever after that
seems to say, "I would not do you harm;
Indeed, I wish you well, but that unfortu
nate affair can never pass out of my mind,"
There tuny no hard words pass between
them, but until death breaks in tho same
coolness remains. Hut God lets our par
doned offenses go into oblivion. He never
throws them up to us again. He feels as
kindly toward us as though we hail been
spotless and sstlvely angelic all along.
A HTOHY OK TIIK 1'IIAIltlK.
Many years ago a family, consisting of
the husband and wife and little girl of two
years, lived far out in n cabin on a western
prairie. The husband took a few cattle to
market. Heforu he started his I child
asked him to buy for her a '. and he
promised. He could, after the sale of the
cattle, purchase household necessities, and
certainly would nut forget thu doll he had
promised. In the village to which he went
ho sold the cattle and obtained thu gro
ceries for his household and the doll for
his little darling. He started homo along
thu dismal road at nightfall.
As he went along on horseback n thun
derstorm broke, and In the most lonely
part of the road and in the heaviest part of
the storm ho heard n child cry. Itohhcrs
had been known to do some bad work
along that road, and It was known that
this herdsman had money with him, the
price of thu cattle sold. The herdsman
llrst thought it was ii stratagem to have
him halt anil bu despoiled of his treasures.

horse nnd resumed his journey home.
Coming in sight of his cabin, he saw It
all lighted up and suposed his wlfo had
kindled all these lights so as to guide her
husband through the darkness. Hut, no.
The house was full of excitement and the
neighbors were gathered and stood around
the wife of thu house, who was insensible
as from some great calamity. On Inquiry
tho returned husband found thnt the little
child of that cabin was gone. She had
wandered out to meet her father and get
thu present he had promised, and the child
was last. Then thu father unrolled from
thu blanket thu child he had found Iu the
fields, and, lot it was his own child and the
lost one of the prairie home, and tho cabin
quaked with the shout over the lost onu
found.

There nre certain names so magnetic
that their pronunciation thrills all who
hear It. Such is the name of thu Italian
soldier and liberator, Garibaldi. Marching
with his troops he met a shepherd who was
In great distress because he had lost a
lamb. Garibaldi said to his troops, "Let
us help this poor shepherd find his lamb."
And so, with lanterns and torches, they
explored thu mountains, but did not find
the lamb, and after an unsuccessful search
late at night they went to their encamp
inent. The next morning Garibaldi was
found asleep far on into tho day, and they
i wKe"ed him for some purpose and found
that he had not given up the search when
tliu soldiers did, but had kept ou still far
ther into tliu night and had found It, am1
he pulled down thu blankets from his
couch and there lay thu lamb, which Gari
baldi ordeied immediately taken to Its
owner.
So the Commander of all tho hosts of
heaven turned aside from Ids glorious anil
victorious march through the centuries of
heaven and said, "I will go anil lecover
that lost world, and that race of whom
Adam was the progenitor, and let all who
will accompany me" And through tho
night they came, but I do not see that the
angelic escmt 'ciime any farther than the
clouds, but their most Illustrious leader
came all the way down, and by the time
his errand Is done our little world, our
wandering and lost world, our woi Id fleecy
with the light, will he found iu the Imsoui
of the Great Shepherd, mid then all heaven
will take up the cantata and sing, "The

sound; the Jeer of mallguatits was a third
sound; the weeping of friends mid coad

A Story of lllun Fruit.
A correspondent at Mentone sends us a
curious story about the blue frogs which
nre found from time to time iu that neigh
borhood. It appears that there are two
rival makers of art Istlu pott cry, thn smaller
man having for years been the foreman of
tho other, until he determined loset up for
himself. Just at tills time, according to
this man's account, his Ixiy was playing In
n neighboring vineyard when he came
across h blue frog. At llrst the father paid
very little attention to thu discovery, but
visitors at Mentone having heard of It
called to inspect thu natural curiosity, ami
an a result of course made purchases of his
ware. Tardicu, for that was the man's
name, was not slow to take advantage of
this, and having made a model of the blue
frog iu Httery soon sold largoquautltles to
Ills customers, and christened his estab
lishment "A laGronoulllo lllcue."
The rival potter was naturally furious.
Why should not he also be the possessor of
a blue frog? Hut the illlllculty was to find
one; so as he was not successful he began
to cast discredit ou the other man ami
tried to show mw the trick, as ho called It,
was done. II proceeded to make a bath
of some acid, which ho placed iu u glass
globe, and iu this for some time past he
has been subjecting thu ordinary green
frogs to a most cruel experiment. The
only effect up to the present has been, as
might he expected, to cause a great mor
tality among the frogs, hut without achiev
ing the desired effect. The frogs certainly
become lighter iu color, hut soon sicken
and diu from thu treatment and never lm
come blue. Tardicu therefore remains
triumphant, ..ml his rival has very proper
ly been much censured for his cruelty.

It Is curious to note how the tastu for or
nament has developed various features i, f
thu andiron. Thu crossbar, not unusual . i
large wrought iron andirons, was origimi
ly a simple uuoruameiited piece of iron, de
signed as a foot rest, iu order that wet and
muddy Isiotu might bu dried by thu wearer
iu front of the burning logs. Thu bar now
adays is Inci listed with so many ornaments
that it has censed to bun comfortable foot
rest. Thu supplementary shaft on largu
andirons had origlunlly n single knob of
iron, Intended to prevent thu burning logs
from rolling too far forward and to serve
onu olllce of thu creeper, hut now it has de
veloped Into a variety of forms, many of
them highly ornamental.
Various rings and hooks for the hang
ing of cooking utensils have developed Into
mere ornaments, the practice of cooking
before an open lire having given way be
fore the advance of the kitchen range nud
the gns stove. The defect of the elalMirute
modern andirons lies partly In thu fact
that designers have beeu Ignorant or re
gardless of the uses for which features of
thu old andirons weru Intended, and havede
velopod them into meaningless ornament.
A recent design Isn pair of andirons having
largu ornamental gates, evidently a devel
