Bohemian Up and liowna.
'Way up in a garret high,
JuJrt a fwr feet from the sky,
Dwell I in Kohemia.
What care I for aught below?
There have I nor friend nor foe!
Pity I rhe struggling throng
While I live my life of mit
t'p here In ISohemia.
'Twecn my teeth my briar-root
Best of friends, Rim e ahvai mute
Rare thing in Bohemia;
Upward as the thick smoke curls
What care 1 for simp'ring girls?
Love in weak; my pipe is strong;
Why for love, then, be the song
Hung here in Bohemia?
Oft my little tongs, fall flat,
Hungry? What care I for that.
Fasting In Bohemia?
Put my only coat in pawn,
Lire on that and mill aing on;
Puff my pipe and think I've dined
Barmecidal feasts I find
Often in Bohemia.
Haply then my rhymelcta take,
With a check my fast to break,
Feaat we In Bohemia.
'Bound the corner of the block,
Sign o'erhead a crowing cock,
Mug of beer and sandwich fine;
What care we how nabobs dine,
Feasting In Bohemia?
Frieoda have I, gome three or four
Quite enough, for who has more,
Id or out Bohemia?
With them joy Is always young.
Grief la but a song that's sung;
Live we, laugh we debonair,
Skies are bright and winds are fair
Always in Bohemia!
-Kate Field's Washington.
A Dream.
O, It was but a dream I had
While the musician played
And here the sky and here the glad
Old ocean kissed the glade.
And here rhe laughing ripples ran
And here the roses grew
That threw a kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crew.
Our silken sails in lazy folds
Drooped In the breathless breeze.
As o'er a field of marigolds
Our eyes swam o'er the sea,
While here the eddies Hsped and purled
Around the Island's rim.
And up from out the underworld
We saw the mermen swim.
And it was dawn and middle day
And midnight for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had cllmlied the skies of June
And here the glowing, glorious king
Of day ruled o'er the realm,
With stars of midnight glittering
About hi dindein.
The sea gull reeled on languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs the sirens sing
As we went sailing past.
And up and down tlio golden sands
A thousand fairy throngs
Flung at us from their flushing hands
The echoes of their songs.
-James Whitcomb Hiley.
Her Dotted Veil.
Her dotted veil doth emphasize
The tender splendor of her eyes;
Its criss-cross meshes are a snare.
The sloulest heart must needs beware,
And safest he who swiftly (lies
Her dotted veil.
A patch of plaster here and there
Did ladies of the court devise,
To make complexions still more fair;
But now my lady multiplies
This fancy, and forsooth must wear
Her drilled veil.
And once bcr veil she pins nnd ties
The winds may madly veer and tear,
She steps a ninidcn debonair,
Without a thought, without a care,
'Twixt her and fair or cloudy Bkies
Her dotted veil.
Yet all's not said, for some declare
A mine of untold wealth there lies
In this extensive dotted snare;
For most the oculist doth prize
The thing that spoils my deal's sweet eyes,
Her dotted veil.

That brown-eyed nurse with wavy hair,
And voice just like the voice of June,
Is falsi- to me- she's false, I swear!
And tickle us the changeful inoou,
Bhe lays her velvet hand on me
And smiles and talks so soflly sweet,
And makes nm thrill, and seems to be
Ko pained that I'm not on my feet.
And then when I'm on fire for her.
And strive love's Impulse to resist,
Bhe thrusts a glass thermometer
Into my mouth and feels my wrist
Then scores she down upon the chart
A rising fever; though I'm sure
T1 wrong that she who steals my heart

SHAMGAR'S 0XG0AD.
ITS USE AS A WEAPON AGAINST
THE PHILISTINES.
Rev, Dr. Talmage Enforces the Neces
sity of Using the Weapon We Have at
Hand for All Great Emergenciea
But We Must Have God with L's.
Hermon in New York.
In his sermon Sunday Hev. Dr. Tal
wage dwenssed one of the most heroic
and picturesque characters in ancient
Jewish history, a man who. like man
others who achieved a hi(,'h distinction,
came from the sturdy rural classes -the
agriculturists. The Bubject of the sermon
was "Shamgar'g Oxgoad," the text be
ing, "After him was Shamgar, wjiieh slew
of the Philistines I'liKI men with an ox
goad" f. Judges iii-, HI).
One dny while Shaingar, the farmer,
wen plowing with a yoke of oxen his com
mand of whou-haw-gi-e was changed to
the shout of battle. J'hilistines, always
ready to make trouble, march up with
sword and spear. Shaingar, the plow man,
had no sword and would not probably
have known how to wield it if he had
possi-ssod one. J5ul light he mux! or go
down under the stroke of the Philistines.
He had an oxgoad a weapon used to
urge on the lazy team; a weapon about
eight feet long, with a sharp iron at one
end to puncture the beast, and n wide
iron chisel or shovel at the other end with
which to wrapt- the clumps of soil from
the plowshare. Vet, with the iron prong
at one end of the oxgoad and the iron
scraper at the other, it was not such a
weapon as one would desire to use in but
tle with armed Philistines. Jtul God belli
ed the farmer, anil leaving (he oxen to
look after themselves he charged upon
the invaders of his homestead.
Some of the commentaries to make it
easier for Shamgar suggest that perhaps
he led a regiment of farmers into the com
bat, his oxgoad only one of many ox
goads. But the Ird does not need any of
you to help in makiug the Scriptures, pud
Shamgar, with the Lord on his side, was
mightier than (VA) Philistines, with the
Ix)rd agaiust them. The battle opened.
Shamgar, with muscle strengthened by
open air and plowman's and reaper's and
thrasher's toil, uses the only weapon at
hand, and he swings the oxgoad up and
down, and this nay and that, now stab
bing with the iron prong at one end of it,
and now thrusting with the iron scraper
at the other, and now bringing down the
whole weight of the instrument upon the
heads of the enemy. The Philisltties are
In a panic, and the supernatural forces
come In, and a blow that would not un
der other circumstances have pr.isti aled or
slain left its victim lifeless, until when
Shamgar walked over the field he counted
VH) dead, l'K) dead, 3K) dead, -UK) dead
500 dead, 1100 dead -all the work done by
an oxgoad with iron prong at one end nnd
an Iron shovel at the other. The fame of
this achievement by this farmer with an
awkward weapon of war spread abroad
and lionized him until he was hoisted into
the highest place of power and became the
third of the mighty judges of Israel. So
you see tviat Cincinnatus was not the only
man lifted from plow to throne.
A Miichtr Weapon,
For what reason waB this unprecedent
ed and unparallelled victory of a farmer's
oxgoad put into this Bible, where there
was no spare room for the unimportant
and tiie trivial?
It was, first of all, to teach you, and to
tench me, and to teach all past ages since
then, and to teach all ages to come that
in the war for God and against sin we
ought to put to the lest use the weasin
we happen to hnveon hand. Why did
not Shamgar wait until he could get a war
charger, with neck arched, and back ca
parisoned, and nostrils snilling the battle
afar off, or until he could get war equip
ment, rr could drill a regiment, and wheel
!ng them into line command them forward
to the charge? To wait for that would
have been defeat and annihilation. So he
takes the best weapon he could lay hold of
and that is an oxgoad. We are culled
Into the battle for the right, and against
wrong, ami many of us have not just ihe
kind of weapon we would prefer. It may
not be a sword of argument. It may not
he the spear of sharp, thrusting wit. It
may not be the battering ram of denuncia
tiou. Bui there is something we can do
and some forces we can wield. Do not
wait for what you have not, but use what
you have. Perhaps you have not elo
quence, but you have a smile. Well, a
smile of encouragement has changed tin
behavior of lens of thousands of wander
ers, and brought I hem back to Cod, and
enthroned them In heaven, loll cannot
make a persuasive apal, but you can set
an example, and a good example has saved
morv souls than you could count in a
year if you counted till the time. You
cannot give $10,000, but you can give
as much as (he widow of the gospel, whos(.
two mites, Ihe smallest coins of the He
brews, were bestowed in such a sum! as
to make her more famous than all the
contributions that ever widowed all the
hospitals and universities of all Christen
dom of all time. You have very limiliHl
vocabulary, but you con say "yes or
"no," and a firm "yes" nr an cmphnth
"no" has traversed Ihe centuries nnd will
traverse all eternity with good jnlliicni
You may not have the courage to confront
a large assemblage, but you can tell a
Sunday school class of two -a boy ami a
girl - how to find Christ, ami one of them
may become n illiam ( arey to start in
tluences that will redeem India, and tin
other a Florence Nighlingnle, who will
Illumine the balllcliclds covered wilh the
dying and the dead.
That was a tough case in a town of Kng
laud where a young lady, applying for a
Sabbath school class, was told by the su
pennteiidcnt she would have to pick up
one out of the street, The worst of the
clasa brought from the street was one Boh.
He was tilted out with respectable cloth
ing by the superintendent. But after two
or three Sabbaths he disappeared. He was
found with his clothes In ta Iters, for he
had been (Wining. The second time Bub
HAHKISOX, NEBRASKA,
was well clad for school. After comiug
ouce or twice he again disappeared and
was found in rags, consequent upon fight
ing. The teacher was disposed to give
him up, but the superintendent said, "Let
us try him again," and the third suit of
clothes was provided hiui. Thereafter he
came until he was converted, and Joined
the church, and started for the gospel min
istry, and became a foreign missionary,
preaching and translating the Scriptures.
Who was the boy called Bob? The illus
trious Dr. Kobert Morrison, great on earth
and greater in heaven. Who his teacher
was I know not, but she us! the oppor
tunity opened, and great has been her re
ward. You may not be able to load an
Armstrong gun. You may not be able to
hurl a Hotchkiss Shell. You may not be
able to shoulder a glittering musket, but
use anything you can lay your band on.
Try a blacksmith's hammer, or a mer
chant's yardstick, or a mason's trowel,
nr a canieiiti t's plane, or a housewife's
broom, or a farmer's oxgoad. One of the
surprises of le aven will be what grand re
sults came fmiii how simple means. Mat
thias Joyce. Hie vile man. became a great
apostle of righteousness not from hearing
John Wesley preach, but from seeing him
kiss a little child on the pulpil slairs.
If God lie In the Work.
Again, my subject springs upon us the
thought that in ctilciilating the prospects
of religious atteinpl we must take omni
presence, and all the other attributes of
Cod into the calculation. Whom do you
seoou that plowed field of my text? Hue
hearer says, "I see Shamgar." Another
hearer says, "1 sip OK) Philistines." My
hearer, you have missed the chief person
age on that baltletield of plowed ground. I
also see Shamgar and (oo Philistines, but
more than nil, and mightier than all, and
more overwhelming than all, I see God.
Shamgar, with his unaided arm, however
muscular, and with that humble instru
ment made for agricultural purposes and
never constructed for combat could not
have wrought such victory. It was om
nipotence above, and beneath, and back
of and at the point of the oxgoad. Be
fore that battle was over ihe plowman re
alized this, and all the lioO Philistines re
alized it, and all who visited the battle
field afterward appreciated it. I want in
heaven to hear the story, for it can never
be fully told on earth perhaps some day
may be set apart for the rehearsal, while
all heaven listens the story of how God
blessed awkward and humble instrumen
talities. Many an evangelist has come
into a town given up to worldliness. The
pastors say to the evangelist: "We are
glad you have come, but it Is a hard field,
and we feel sorry for you. The members
of our churches play progressive euchre,
ami go to the theater, and bet at the horse
races, and gayely and fashion have taken
possession of the town. We have adver
tised your meetings, but are not very
hopeful. God bless you." This evangelist
takes his place on platform or pulpit. He
never graduated at college, and there are
before him twenty graduates of the best
universities, lie never took one lesson in
elocution, and there are before him twenty
trained orators. Many of the ladies pres
ent are graduates of the highest female
seminaries, ami one slip in grammar or
one mispronunciation will result in sup
pressed giggle. Amid the general chill
that pervades the house the unpretending
evangelist opens his Bible ami takes for
his text, "Lord, that my eyes may be
opened." Opera glasses in the gallery
curiously scrutinize the speaker. He tells
in a plain way the story of the blind man,
tells two or three touching anecdotes, and
the general chill gives way before a
strange warmth.
A classical hearer who took the first
honor at Yale and who is a prince of pro
prieties finds his spectacles becoming dim
w'ith a moisture suggestive of tears. A
worldly mother who has been bringing up
her sons and daughters in utter goilless
ness puts her handkerchief to her eyes and
begins to weep. Highly educated men
who came to criticise ami pick to pieci-s
and find fault bow on their gold-hi-adisl
canes. What is that sound from under
the gnllery? It is a sob, and sobs are
catching, and all along the wall and all
up and down the audience, there is deep
emotion, so that when at the close of the
service anxious souls are invited to espe
cial scats, or the inquiry room, they come
up by scores and kneel ami repent and rise
up pardoned; the whole town is shaken,
and places of evil amusement jire sparse
ly attended and rum holes hue their pat
rons, and the churches are thronged, and
Ihe whole community is cleansed and ele
vated and rejoiced. What power did the
evangelist bring to bear to capture thai
town for righteousness'.' Not one bril
iianl epigram did he utter. Not one grace
ful gesture did he make. Not one rhetori
cal climax did he pile up. But there was
something about him that J I ! had not
taken in the estimate when they prophe
sied the failure of that work. They had
not taken into the calculalion Ihe om
nipolence of the Holy Ghost. It was not
the Hash of a Damascus blade. It. was
God, before ami behind, and all around
the oxgoad. When people say that crime
will triumph, and the world will never be
converted because of the seeming iusulti
ciency of the means employed, they count
the iKsi armed Philistines on one side, and
Shamgar, the farmer, awkwardly equip
piil, on the other side; not realizing that
the chariots of God are o.immi, and that
all heaven, cherubic, seraphic, archan
gelic, deilic, is on what otherwise would
be the weak side. Napoleon, the author
of the saying, "God is on the side of the
heaviest artillery," lived lo find out hi
mistake; for at Waterloo, the Bin guns
of the Knglish oven nine the L'."0 guns of
the French. God Is on the side of the
right, and one man in the right will event
ually be found stronger than lion ill Ihe
wrong. In all estimates of any kind of
Christian work, do not make the mistake
every day inade of leaving out the henil
of the universe. '
In the grand review of heaven, when the
regimen's pass the Ixird of Hosts, there
will be A'hole regiments of nurses ami

Years ago I was to summer in the Adir
onducks and my wealthy friend, who was
a great hunter and fisherman, said, "I am
no) going to the Adiroudacks this season,
and you can take my equipment and I will
send il up to Paul Smith's." Well, It was
there when I arrived in the Adiroudacks,
a splendid outfit, that cost many hundreds
of'dollars. a gorgeous tent and such elab
orate fishing apparatus; such guns of all
styles and exquisite make and reels and
pouches and boat and torches and lunch
!i'i!s nm! many more things that I
could not even guess the use of. And my
friend of the big soul had even written on
ami engaged men who should accompany
me into the forest and carry home the
deer and the trout, if the mountains
could have seen and understood it at the
time, there would hnve been panic among
the anth-rs and the fins through all the
"John Brown's Tract." Well, I am no
hunter, and not a roebuck or a game fish
did J injure. But there were hunters
there that season who had nothing but a
plain gun and a rug to Bleep on and a coil
of fishing line and a box of ammunition
and bait, who came In ever and anon with
as many of the captives of forest end
stream as the- and two or three attend
ants could carry. Now. I fear that many
Christian workers who have most elabo
rate educational and theological and pro
fessional equipment and most wonderful
'weaponry, sufficient, you would think, to
capture a w hole community or a whole na
tion for (rod, will in the last day have but
little except their fine tackling to show,
while some who had no advantages except
that which they got in prayer and con
secration will, by the souls they have
brought to the shore of eternal safety,
prove that they have been gloriously suc
cessful as fishers of men nnd in taking
many who, like the hart, were panting af
ter the water brooks.
What made the Amalekites run before
Gideon's nrmy? Each one of the army
knew how much racket the breaking of
'one pitcher would make. So 300 men that
night took .'loo pitchers, and a lamp inside
the pitcher, and at a given signal the
lamps were lifted, and the pitchers were
violently dashed down. The flash of the
light and the racket of the 300 demol
ished pitcher sent the enemy into wild
flight Not much of a weapon, you would
say, is a broken pitcher, but the Lord
made that awful crash of crockery the
means of triumph for his people, and
there is yet to lie a buttle with the pitch
ers The night of the world's dissipation
may get darker and darker, but after
awhile, in what watch of the night I know
not, all the ale pitchers, and the wine
pitchers, and the beer pitchers, and the
whisky pitchers of tho earth will be hurl
ed into demolition by converted inebriates
and Christian reformers, and at that aw
ful crash of infernal crockery the Amale
kitish host of pauperism and loaferism
and domestic quarrel and cruelty and as
sassination will fly the earth.
Ask God for Help.
Take the first weapon you can lay your
hands on. Why did David choose, the
sling when he went at Goliath and Golialh
went at him? Brought up in the country,
like every other boy, he knew how to man
age a sling. Saul's armor was first put
on him, but the pants armor was too
heavy. The helmet was clapped on him
as an 'extinguisher, and David Haid, "I
cannot go with these, for I liave not prov
ed them." And the first wise thing David
did after pulling on Saul's armor was to
put it off. Then the brook Elah, the bed
of which was dry when I saw it and one
vast reach of pebbles, furnished the five
smooth stones of the brook with which
Goliath was pruKtritli. Whether it be a
Isiy's sling, or a broken pitcher, or an ox
g ad. take that which yon can manage
and iisk God for help, and no power on
earth or in hell can stand before you.
Go out, then. I charge you, against the
Philistines. We must admit the odds are
against us HHI to 1. In the matter of
dollars, those devoted to worldliness and
sin and dissipation, when compared with
the dollars devoted to holiness and virtue
iKhi to 1. The houses set apart for vice
ami despoliation and ruin, as coyipare.l
with those dedicated lo good, lioo to 1. Of
printed newspaper sheets scattered abroad
from day to day, those depraving as com
pared with those elevating, nre Hot) to 1.
The agencies for making the world worse
compared with the agencies for making
the world belter, lino to 1. But Moses in
his song chants, "How should one chase
a thousand and two put ton thousand to
flight?" and in my text one oxgoad con
quers 000 uplifted battleiixes. and the day
of universal victory is coming, unless the
Bible be a fabrication and eternity a
myth, and the chariots of God lire nn
wlieeled on the golden streets, and the
last regiment of the celestial hosts lies
dead on the plains of heaven. With us,
or without ns, the work will be done. Oh.

somehow; you with an needle, you w ith a
