. passages illustrative of Solomon's ac
quaintance with natural history.
His text was Psalm xlii, 1: "As the

panteth my soul after thee, O God."
The great preacher said:

.J hunter who, having tliot a deer, is too
lazy to cook it, saying: "The slpthfu)
man roasteth not that which he took in
hunting." But one day David, while
far from the home from which he had
lcen driven, and sitting near the
door of a lonely cave where lie
had lodged, and on the banks of
n iond or rirer, hears a pack of hounds
in swift pursuit. Beomso of the pre
vious rjlenco of tho forest the clangor
i-tartles him, and he says to himself: "j
wonder what thoso dogs are nfter." Then
there is n crackling in the brushwood,
and the loud breathing of some rushing
wonder of the woods, and the antlers of
a deer rend tho leaves of the thicket, pnd
by an instinct which all hunters recogr
nize, plunges into n ond or lake or river
to cool its thirst, and at the same time by
its capacity for swifter and longer swim
ruing, to get away from the foaming har
riers. David says to himself: "Aha,
that is myself! Saul after me, Absalom
after me, enemies without number after
me, I am chased their bloody muzzles
at my heels, barking at my good name,
Jlarking after my body, barking after my
soul. Oh, the hounds, the hounds! But
look there, ' says David, "that reindeer
has splashed into tho water. It puts its
hot lips and nostrils into the cool wave
iat washes the lathered flanks, and it
swims away from, the fiery canines, and
it is free at last. Oh, that I might find
in the deep, wide lake of God's mercy and
consolation escape from my pursuers!
Oh, for tho waters f life and rescue!
As tho heart panteth after tho water
brooks, so panteth my soul after thee,
OGod."
I liave just come from the Adiron
dacks and tlie breath of the balsam and
epruco and pine is still on me. The
Adirondacks are now populous with
hunters, and the deer are being slain by
the score. Talking a few days ago with
a hunter, I thought I would like
to 6ee whetlier my text was accurate
in its allusion, and as I heard the dogs
baying a little way oil and supposed they
were on the track of a reindeer, and I
said to tho hunter in rough corduroy,
'Do the deer always make for the water
when they are pursued;'" lie paid, "0t
yes, mister; you see, thy are a hot and
thirsty animal, and they know where tho
water is, and when they hear danger in
the distance they lift their antlers and
snuff the breeze and start for tho Rac
quet, or Loon, or Saranac, and wo get
into our cedar shell boat or stand by tlie
.'runaway with rifle loaded ready to
blaze away." 31 v friends, this is oqe
reason why I like the Bible so much
a allusions are so true to nature. It

miles of pursuit, with lieaving sides and
lolling tongue and eyes swimming in
death the stag leaps from the cliff into
Upper Saranac, can you realize how
much David liad Buttered front his
troubles and how much ho wanted God
when he expressed himself in the words
of the text: ''As the hart panteth after
the water brooks, so panteth my soul
after thee, O God."
Well now, let all those who have com
ing after them tho lean hounds of ov
erty or the black hounds of jiersecution
or tho fsjiotted hounds of vicissitude or
t lie pale hounds of death or who are in
any wise pursued, fly to tho wide,
deep, glorious lake of divine bolaeo
and rescue. The most of tho
men and women whom I happen to
know at different times, if not now have
had trouble after them, sharp muzzled
troubles, swiTt troubles, all devouring
troubles. Many of you have made the
mistake of trying to fight them. Some
body meanly attacked you, and you at
tacked them; they depreciated you, you
depreciated them; or they overreached
you in a bargain, and you tried, in Wall
street parlance, to get a comer on them
or you have had a bereavement, and in
stead of leing submissive, you are fighting
that bereavement; you charge on the
doctors who failed to effect a cure; or
you charge on the carelessness of the
railroad company through which the ac
cident occurred; or you are a chronic
invalid, and you fret and worry and
scold' and wonder why -ou can
not be well like other people,
and you angrily charge on tho neuralgia
or the laryngitis or tho ague or the sick
headache. The fapj; is you aro a deer at
bay. Instead of running to the waters
of divine consolation, and slaking your
thirst and cooling your body and soul in
tho good cheer of the Gospel, and 6virri
ming away into the mightv deeps of God'i
love, you an fighting a whole kennel of
harriers. A few days ago J saw in the
Adirondacks a dog lying across the road,
and he seemed unable to get up, and I
saw to some uunters near bv: "What is
tho matter with'that dog?" Thev an
swereu: "A deer hurt lum. And! saw
i had a great swollen paw and a bat
red head,, showing where the antlen
struck him. And the probability is that
some of j-ou might give a mighty clip to
your pursuers, you might damage their
business, ypu might wprry them into ill
health, you might hurt them as much
is they have hurt; you, but, after all, it
is not worth while, lou only have hurt
a hound. Better be off for the Upper
Saranac, into which the mountains of
God's eternal strength look down and
moor their shadows. As for your physi
cal disorders, the worst strycniwi ypu
can take is frctfuhes3, and the best nied-
icine is rehcrion. I know people who
were only a little disordered, yet have
fretted themselves into complete valetu
dinarianism, while others put their trust
m God and came up from the very
shadow of death, and have lived com
fortably twenty-five vears with only one
lung. A maa with one lung, but' God
with him, is better off than a godless
man with two lungs. Some of you have
leen for a Ion": time sailincr around Cape
'ear when you ought to have been sail
ing around Cape Good Jlope. pp not
turn back, but go ahead. The deer will
accomplish more with jts. swift feet than
wfiJi its horps,
I saw whole chains of lakes in the
Adirondacks, and from one height you
can see thirty, and there are said to be
over eight hundred in the exeat wilder
ness, So near are they tQ eapH other
that your mountain guide picks iip and
carries the boat from lake to lake, the
small distance between them for that
reason called a "carry." And the realm
of God's word is one long chain of
bright, refreshing lakes; each promise
a lake, a very 6)iprt; carry be
tween them, and though for ages
tho pursued have been drinking out of
them, they are ful up to the top of the
green banks, and tlie same David de
scribes them, and they seem so near to
gether that in three different places he
speaks of them as a continuous river,
saying: "There is a river the Btrpams
whereof shall make glad the pity of pod ;"
"Thou shalt make then (brink of the
rivers of tby pleasures" 'Thou greatly
enrichest it with tho river of Godwhicl
i3 full of water."
But many of you have turned yotu
back on that supplv, arid, confront youi
trouble, and you are soured with yppr
circumstanpes, and. vou are fighting so
ciety, and you aro fighting a pursuing
world, and troubles instead of driving
you into the cool lake of heavenly com
fort, have made you 6top and turn round
and lower your head, and t is simply
:iitlcr against tooth. do not blame you.
Probably under the same circumstanpes
I would have d0 worse. But you are
all wrong. You need to do as tho rein
deer does in February and March it
sheds its horns. Tho Iiabbinical writers
allude to this resignation of antlers bx
the stag when they say of a man who
ventures his nipny jn risky enterprises,
ho has hung jt on the stag's horns ;'and ft
proverb in tho far east tells a man who
has foolishly lost his fortune to go and
find where thejdeer shed her horns. My
Lrothc-r, quit the antagonism of your
circumstances, quit misanthropy, Quit
complaint, quit pitching Jnto your pur
suers, Le as wise as, next spring, will be
all the reindeer of the Adirondacks. Shed
your bonis.
But very many of you are wronged of tte
world .and if iir any assembly between
Sandy Hook, New York, and Golden
Gate, San Francisco, it were asked that
all those that bad been sometimes badly
treated 6hould raise both their hands,
and full response should be made, there
would be twice as many bands lifted as
persons present; J say many of you
would declare: "We have always
done the best we could and tried to be
useful, and why we should become the
victims of m alignment, or invalidism, or
mishap, is inscrutable. ' Why do you
net know that the finer a deer, and the
more elegant its proportions, and the
more beautiful its bearing, the more
anxious the hunters and the bounds are
to capture it. IIa4 that roebuck a
ragged fur and brokeu hoofs and
an obliterated eye and a limping gait
the hunters would have said: VPshawl
don't let us waste our ammunition on a
sick; deer." And he hounds would have
given a few sniffs of tlie track and then
darted off in another direction for better
"me. But when, tbeaee a deer with
! antlers lifted in mighty challenge to
earth and sky, and the sleek hide looks
as if it had been smoothed by invisible
hands, and the fat sides incloso tho
richest pasture that could be nibbled
from tho bank of rills so clear they
seem to have dropped out of heaven,
mid tho stamp of its foot defies
the jack shooting lantern and the rifle,
tho horn and tho hound, that deer they
will have if they must needs break their
neck in tho rapids. So if there were no
noble stuff in your make up, if you were
u bifurcated nothing, if jou were a for
lorn failure, you would be allowed to go
undisturbed; but the fact that tho whole
Iack is in full cry after you is proof jkis
itive that you are splendid game and
worth capturing. Therefore sarcasm
draws on you its "finest bead." There-
fore the world goes gunning for you with
its best Maynard breech loader. Highest
compliment is it to your talent, or your
virtue, or your usefulness. You will
Ixs assailed in proportion to vour
great achievements. Tlie best and
the mightiest being the world ever
saw, had set after him all the hounds,
terrestrial and diabolic, and they lapped
his blood after the Calvarean massacre.
Tho world paid nothing to its Redeemer
but a bramble and a cross. Many who
liave done their best to make the world
lictter have had such a rough time of it
that all their pleasure is in anticipation
of tho next world, and they could ex
press their own feelings in tho words of
tho Baronesa of Nairn at the close of her
long life:
Would you be young again
So would not I;
Ouo tear of memory givdu,
Onwr4 I'll hlo;
X-ifo'a tluik wavo forded o'er,

5ltcs; for some people in this world
thero seems no let up. They aro pursued
from youth to manhood, and from man
hood into old age. Very distinguished
are Lord. Stafford's hounds, and Earl of
Yarborough's hounds, and kp puke of
Rutlands iovmds, and Queen Victoria

or Kiwer to hunt down, the great ken

are owner and master.

avaricious men of his court said the vnso

For him I thirst; for his graee I bezi

world, anq it does well enough as far as
it goes, but it is too uncertain a world,
too evanescent a world. I am not a
prejudiced witness. I have nothing
against this world. I have been one of
the most fortunate. r. to use
more Christian word, one of
the most blessed of men, blessed
in my parents, blessed in tho
place of my nativity, blessed in my
health, blessed in mv field of work.
blessed in my natural temperament.
blessed in my family, blessed in my
opportunities, blessed in a comfortable
livelihood, blessed in the hope that mv
soul will go to Heaven through the par
doiung mercy of God, and my body, un
less it be lost at sea or cremated in scone
conflagration, will he dp wo, in the gar
dens pf Greenwood, among my kindred
and friends, some already gone and others
to come after me. Life to many has
been a disappointment, but to me it has
been a pleasant surprise, and yet I de
clare that if I did not feel that God was
now my friend and ever present help,
should be wretched and tenor struck.
But I want more of him. I have
thought over this text and preached
this sermon to myself until with all the
aroused energies of my body, mind and.
soul, and I can cry out: "As the hart
panteth after the water brooks, so panteth
my 6oul after thee, O God.' Through
Jesus Christ make this God your God and
you can withstand anything and. every
thing, and that which affrights others
will inspire you. As in time of earth
quake when an old Christian woman
was asked whether she was scared, an
swered: . "No, I am glad that have a
God who can shake the world,"-or, aa in
a financial panic, when a Christain mer
chant was asked if be did not fear he
would break, answered: 4Yee, I shall
break when the fifteenth Psalm brealvt i
in the fifteenth verse: 'Call upon mo in
the day of trouble; I will deliver thee
and thou shalt glorify me.' " O Chris
tian men and women, pursued of
annoyances and exasperations, remember
that this hunt, whether a still hunt or a
hunt in full cry, will soon bo over. If
ever a whelp looks ahamed and ready to
slink out of sight it is when in "tho
Adirondacks a deer by one long, tremen
dous plunge into Big'Tuppor lako gets
away from him. The disapj.ointed canine
; swims in u little way, but, defeated,
swims out again anil cringes with humili
ated yawn at the feet of his master. And
how abashed ami ashamed will all your
larthly troubles be when you have dash, d
into the river from under the throne of
God. and the heights and depths of heav en
are between you and your pursuers. We
are toM in Revelation xxii, 15: "Without
are dogs, by which I conclude there is
a whole kennel of hounds outside tho
gate of heaven, or, as when a master
goes in a door his dog lies on the steps
waiting for him to come out, so the
troubles of this life may follow us to the
shining door, but hey cannot get in.
"Without are dogs!" I have seen dogs
and owned dogs that I would not bo
chagrined to see in tho heavenly city.
Some of the grand old watch dogs who
are the constabulary of the homes in sol
itary places, and for years have leen tho
only protection of wife and child ; some
of the shepherd dogs that drive
back the wolves and bark away
tho flocks from going too near tlie
precipice; and some of the dogs whose
neck and paw Landseer, the painter. h:!
made immortal, wou! 1 .. W.A mo shut
ting them out from the gate of shining
pearl. Some oi those old St. Bernard
dogs that have lifted perishing travelers
out of tho Alpine 6iiow; tho dog that
John Brown, the Scotch essayist, saw
ready to spring at tho surgeon lest, in
removing tho cancer, ho too much hurt
the poor woman whom tho dog felt
bound to protect; and dogs that wo
caressed in CUV childhood days, or
that hi later time lay down on
tho rug in 6eeming sympathy when our
homes were desolated. I say, if some
soul entering heaven should happen to
leave tho gate ajar and these faithful
creatures shffuld quietly walk in. it
would not at all disturb my heaven. But
all those human or brutal hounds that
have chased and torn and lacerated the
world; yea. all that now bite or worry

"Without are dogs!" No placo thero
for harsh critics or backbiters or despoil
ers of the reputation of others. Down
with you to the kennels of darkness and
dipsMr? The hart has reached tlie eter
nal water brooka, and tho panting of tho
long chaso Is quieted in still pictures,
and "There shall be nothing to hunt or
destroy in all God's holy mount."
Oh, when, soma of you get there it
wiit he like what a hunter tells of when
ho was pushing his canoe far up north in
the whiter and amid tho ice floes, and a
hundred miles, a3 he thought, from any
other human beings. He was startled
one day as he heard a stepping o tho
ice, and he cocked the riflo ready to meet
anything that oaoiO ner. Ho found a
man, barefooted and insano from long
exposure, approaching him. Taking him
into his CftiiC'O and kindling fires to warm
him, he restored him and found out
where he had lived, and took him to
his home and' found all the village in
great excitement. A, hundred men were
searching for this lost man, and his
family and friends rushed out to meet
him, and, as had been agreed, at his first
appearance bells were rung and guns
were discharged and banquets spread,
and the rescuer loaded with presents.
Well, when some of you step out of this
wilderness, where you have been chilled
and torn and sometimes lost amid the
icebergs, into the warm greetings of all
the villages of tho glorified, and your
friends rush out to give you welcoming
ft kiss, the news that there is another
soul forever saved will cull the caterers
of heaven to spread the banquet, and
the bell men to lay hold of the ropo in
tlio tower, ancl while the chalices click at
the feast, and tho bells clang from the
towers, it will be a scene so uplifting I
pray God I may be there to take pare in
the celestial merriment. And now do
you not think the prayer A Solomon's
song, where lie cpmpared Chriot to a rein
deer coming down in the night to pasture
on the plains, would make an exquisitely
appropriate peroration to my sermou:
' Xj ntil the day break and the shadows
flee away, be thou like a roe op a young
hart upon the mountains, of Bother.''
A Pathetic Tale from Australia.
The other day a leading Sydney solici
tor received instructions from London to
hunt up a young man who had quitted
London ten years previously, and a draft
for 300 was inclosed to pay his passage
home. After a course of advertising a
member of a charitable society called in
and directed the solicitor to a certain
hovel in lower Alexandria, Sydney. The
solicitor, knowing the "lay" of tho
country, judiciously sent his clerk down
to catch the fever instead of doing it in
person.
That well dressed young man explored
tlie barbarous region, dodging through
back lanes and over mud pies and among
broken fences that hung wearily and
lopsidedly amid abysses of mud, and at
last he arrived at a hut which boasted a
box anl a pile of rags and straw for its
sole furniture. A weary woman, who
had once been handsome, and who under
happier auspices would be handsome
again, begged that tbey should not b9
turned out of their dismal abode until
her husband was better, and a hollow
eyed invalid stretched on a pile of rags
in the corner echoed the petition. ' And.
these two were the heirs to a fortune of

Men Servants lia Jtage.
Men servants are now the rage among
rieh people. Families that formerly em
ployed girls are discarding them now in
favor of neat, handy, good looking men.
These are kept in swallowtails all the
time, and they answer the door, wait on
table, clean the knives and forks, brush
boots and clothes and go out with the
carriage as footmen. The result of this
has been that there are twice the num
ber of women out of employment here
now than ever before. The intelligence
offices are overcrowded with them.
