TALMAUE’S SERMON. "THE GRANDMOTHERS” LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. "Tba L'ufeluuoil Faith Tlmt In In 1li«, Which ltwali Flnt lu Tlijr Ur»uU •ualhar Lot*”—Fruui Meeuud lluuh of Tlnullij. Clauptar I, Verse A In this pastoral letter which Paul, the old mlulater, 1* writing to Tlmo Uiy, the young minister, the family record Is brought out. Paul practical ly says: "Timothy, what a good grand mother you had! You ought to be better than most folks, because not only was your mother good, but your grandmother was good also. Two pre ceding generations of piety ought to give you a mighty push In the right direction." The fact was that Timothy needed encouragement. He was In poor health, having a weak stomach, and was a dyspeptic, and Paul pro scribed for him a tonic, "a little wine for thy stomach's sake"—not much wine, but a little wine, and only as a medicine. And If the wine then ha 1 been as much adulterated with logwood and strychnine us our modern wines, he would not have prescribed any. But Timothy, not strong physically, Is encouraged spiritually by the recital of grandmotherly excellence, Paul hinting to him, as I bint this day to you, that God sometimes gathers up as In a reservoir, uway back of the active generations of today, a godly Influ ence, and then In response to prayer lets down the power upon children an l grandchildren and great grandchildren. Tho world Is woefully In want of a ta ble of statistics in regard to what Is the protracted ness and Immensity of Influence of one good woman lu tho church and world. We have accounts of bow much evil has been wrought by a woman who lived nearly a hundred years ago, and of how rnuny criminals her descendants furnished for the pen itentiary and the gallows, and how many hundreds of thousands of dollars they cost our country In their arraign ment and prison support, as well as In the property they burglarized and destroyed. But will not some one come out with brain comprehensive enough, and heart warm enough, and pen keen enough to give us the facts In regard to some good womau of a hundred years ago, und let us know how many Christian men und women and reformers and useful people have been found among her descendants, and how many asylums and colleges and churches they built, and how ;nany millions of dollars (hey contributed for liumanltjirlnn and Christian uur pOften? The good women whose tombstones were planted In the eighteenth century are more alive for good In the nine teenth century thau they were before, as the good women of the nineteenth century will bo more allvo for good In the twentieth century than now. Mark you, I have no Idea that the grand mothers were any better than their granddaughters. You cannot get very ohl people to talk much about how things were when they were boys and girls. They have a reticence and a non committalism which makes me think they feel themselves to he the custo dians of the reputation of tholr early comradeH. While our dear old folks are rehearsing the follies of the present. If we put them oil the witness slum! ami croftM-examlue them as to how things were seventy years ago the silence be comes oppressive. The celebrated Frenchmen, Volncy, visited this country In 1798, and be says of woman’s diet in those times: "If a premium was offered for a regi men most destructive to health, none could bo devised more efficacious for these ends than that In use among these people." That eclipses our lob ster salad at midnight. Everybody talks about tho dissipation of modern society and how womanly health goes down under it, but It was worse a hun dred years ago, for the chaplain of a French regiment In our revolutionary war wrote In 1782, In his "Hook of American Women,” saying: "They are tall and well-proportioned, their fea tures are generally regular, their cum plexlons are generally fair and without color. At twenty years of age the wom en have no longer the freshness of youth. At thirty or forty they are do ercplt." In 1812 u foreign consul wrote u hook entitled. "A Sketch of the Unit ed States at the Commencement of the ITewem Century," and he says of the women of those times: "At the age of thirty all their charms have disap peared." Ou« glunce at the portraits of the womeu a hundred years ago and their style of dress makes us wonder how they ever got their breath. All this makes ms think that the express rail train Is no more au improvement -on the old cuual boat, or the telegraph no more an Improvement on the old time saddle-bags, than the women of our day are an Improvement on the womeu of the last century. Hut still, not withstand lug that those times were oo much worse than ours, there was a glorious race of godly women, seventy and u hundred years ago, who held the world back from sin and lifted It toward virtue, aud with out their exulted and e-untitled Influ ence before this the last good Influence would have perished from the earth. Indeed, all over this land there are seated to-day — nut so much in churches, for man> «.f them are too feeble to coma a great many aged graudmolbers. They sometimes feel tbgl the world has goue past them, and they ha'* au Idea that they are of little account Their head some times gcU aching from it- lacks! of the grand- hlidreu down stairs or in the nest room They steady ikmis-ine by the Imnlslera aa tho g > tip and down When they get a cold It hangs -m them longer then It used to They cannot hear to hava the grandchildren P‘*« teheg evwo when they dee*rv# It, and fcnve so related their IU»ee of family discipline I hat they would spoil all the youngsters of the household by too great leniency. These old folks are the resort when great troubles come, and there Is a calming and soothing power In the touch of an aged hand that is almost supernatural. They feci they aro almost through with the Journey of life and read the old Hook more than they used to, hardly knowing which most i hey enjoy, the Old Testament or the New, and often stop and dwell tearfully over the family record half way between. Wo hall them to-day, whether In the house of Ood or at the homestead, lllessed is that household that has In It a grandmothor Lois. Where she Is, angels are hovering round and Ood Is in the room. May her Inst days he like those lovely days that we call Indian summer! Is It not time that you and I do two things swing open a picture gallery of the wrinkled faces and stooped shoul der*, the past, and call down from their heavenly thrones the godly grandmothers, to give them our thanks and then to persuade the mothers of today that they ore living for ail time, and that against the sides of every cradle Id which a child is rocked beat the two eternities? Here we have an untried, undls cussed, and uueaplored subject. You often hear about your Influence upon your own children, I am not talking about that. What about your influence upon the twentieth century, upon the thirtieth century, upon tho fortieth century, upon the year two thousand, upon the ycur four thousand, If tho world lasts so long? The world stood four thousand year* before Cbrlat came; It Is not unreasonable to sup pose that It may stand four thousand years after Ills arrival. Four thousand years the world swung off In sin, four thousand years It may be swinging back Into righteousness. Hy the ordi nary rate of multiplication of the world's population in a century, your descendants will be over three hun dred, and by two centurloH over fifty thousand, ami upon every one of them, you, the mother of today, will have an Influence for good or evil. And If In four centuries your descendants shall have with their names filled a scroll of hundreds of thousands, will some angel from heaven, to whom Is given the capacity to calculate the number of the stars of heaven and tho sands of the seashore, step down and tell us how many descendants you will have In the four thousandth year of the world’s possible continuance? Do not let tho Grandmothers any longer think that they are retired, and sit clear back out of sight from the world, feeling that they have no relation to It. The mothers of tho last century are today in uiu ijn ,iuii ui luuii ui'iiiruuamn, iu the SonateB, the Parliaments, the pal uceH, the pulpits, tha banking houses, the professional chairs, the prisons, the ulmshouses, the company of midnight brigands, the cellars, the ditches of this century. Your have been thinking about the importance of having the right Influence upon our nursery. You have been thinking of the importance of getting those two little feet on the right path. You have been thinking of your child's destiny for the next eighty years, if it should pass on to be an oc togenarian. That is well, but my sub ject sweeps u thousand years, a mil lion years, a quadrillion of years. I cannot stop at one cradle, l am look ing at the cradles that reach all around the world and acioss all time. I urn not thinking of mother Eunice. I am talk ing of grandmother Lois. The only way you can tell the force of a current is by Hailing up stream; or the force of an ocean wave, by running tho ship against it. Uuuning along with it we cannot appreciate the force. In esti mating maternal Influence we general ly run along with It down the stream of time, and bo we don't understand the full force. Let us come up to it from the eternity side, after It has been working on for centuries, and see all the good it has done and all tho evil it has accomplished multiplied in mag nificent or appalling compound inter est. The difference between that moth er's Influence on her children now and the influence when it has beptt multi plied in hundreds of thousands of lives, is the difference between the Mississip pi river away up at the top of the con tinent starting fio;u the little Lake Itasca, seven miles long and one wide, and its mouth at tbs Gulf of Mexico, where navies might ride, between the birth of that river and its burial in the sea the Missouri pours in, and the Ohio pou^s in, and the Arkansas pours in, and the Red and White and the Yazoo rivers pour In, and all the States and Territories between the Alleghany and Rocky mountains make contributions. Now, In order to test the power of a mother's influence, we need to come in off the ocean of eternity snd sail up toward the one cradle, and we And ten thousand tributaries of influence pour ing in and pouring down. Hut it is aft er uli one great river of power rolling on ami rolling for aver. Who can fath om It? Who can bridge It? Who can | stop it? Had not mothers better ho intensifying their prayers? Usd they not better tie elevating their esample? | Had they not hettsr be rouslug them selves with the consideration that by their faithfulness or neglect they are I marling an influence which will he siu I snduus after the last mountain of tarth Is flat, and the last sen has dried up. aud the last flake of the ashes of a j consult!* I work! shall have been blown ! sway, and all the telescopes of other worlds directed to the track around ; which our world once swung shall die* > cover not so mui it as a cinder of the burned-down and swept-uff planet. In tVylon there Is a granite column thir ty-six square feel in slse, which Is thought by the ualivea to decide the world’s continuance Au angel with i robs spun from sephyra Is onre a cen tury to descend and sweep the bent of I that rube acruaa tbe granite, and when by that attrition the cnluutn I* worn sway they say time will end llut by i that proceAs that grande column would | tie worn out of existence before moth* , er'e influence will begin to give way God All the earth and the heavens with such grandmothers; we must some day go up and thunk these dear old souis. Surely God will let us go up and tell them of the results of their influence. Among our first questions fn Heaven will bo, “Where Is grand mother?" They will point her out. for we would hardly know her, even If wo had seen her on earth, so bent over with years once and there so straight, so dim of eye through the blinding of earthly tears and now her eyes as clear as heaven, so full of aches and pains once and now so agile with celestial health, the wrinkles blooming into car nation roses, and her step like the roe on the mountains. Yes, 1 must see her, my grandmother on my father's side, Mary McCoy, descendant of the Scotch. When I first spoke to an au dience In Glasgow, Scotland, and felt somewhat diffident, being a stranger, I begun by ‘filling them my grandmother wag a Scotchwoman, and then there went up a shout of welcome which tuude me feel as easy as 1 do here. I must see her. You must see those women of the early part of the nineteenth century and those of the eighteenth century, the answer of whose prayers Is In your welfare today, God bless all the aged women up and down the land and In all lauds! What a happy thing for l'ompoulus Attlcus to say when mak ing the funeral address of Ills mother: “Though I have resided with her sixty seven years, I was never once recon ciled to her, because there never hap pened the least discord between us, and consequently there was no need of rec onciliation.” Make It as easy for the old folks as you can. When they are sick, get for them the best doctors. Give them your arm when the streets are slippery. Bfay with them all the time you can. Go home and see the old folks. Find the place for them In tho hymnbook. Never be ashamed if they prefer styles of apparel which are a lit tle antiquated. Never say anything that Implies that they are In the wuy. Make the road for the lust mile us smooth as you can. Oh, my! how you will miss her when she Is gone! llow much would I give to see my mother! I have* so muny things I would llko to tell her, things that have happened lu tbf thirty years since she went away. Morultig, noon and night let us thank God for the good Influences that have come down from good mothers all the way hack. Timothy, don't forget your grandmother Lois. And hand down to others this patrimony of blessing. 1’ass along the coronets. Make religion un heirloom from generation to genera tion. Mothe rs, consecrate yourselves to God and you will help consecrate all the age following! Do not dwell so much on your hardships that you tnlss your chance by wielding uu Influence that shall look down upon you from the towers of an endless future. I know Martin Luther was right when ho con soled his wifa over the death of their daughter by saying: “Don't take on so, wife; remember that this Is a hard world for girls." Yes, I go further and say, It Is a hard world for women. Aye, I go further nnd say, It Is a hard world for men. But for all women and men who trust their oodles and souls lu the hand of Christ the shining gates will soon swing open. Don't you see the sickly pallor on the sky? That Is tha pallor on the cold cheek of the dying night. Don’t you see tho brightening of tho clouds? That 1s the Hush on the warm forehead of the morning. Cheer up, you are coming within sight of the Celestial City. A DOG OF WAR. A hardlooking young colored man leaned against an awning-pole at a street-corner in Washington, says the Post, while a very ordinary cur sat at his feet. A crowd of people assembled, waiting for streetcars. Then the col ored youth bestirred himself. "Look a-yenh, Nero." eaid he to the now alert and tail-wagging cur. "what yo' gwine ter do ef a Spanyud comes a snoopin’ down the street?” The words were scarcely uttered be fore the cur began to snap with a vi ciousness that seemed to say, "What I’d do to him would bo a heap." The crowd laughed, and applauded the clev erness of the plebeian-looking pup. "Dat'a nil right, so fah," went on the negro, again addreusing the cur, "but what Ah wants ter fin’ out is wheuh all o’ dese yeah Spanyuds Is a-goln' t' be by de time we gits froo wit’ 'em." The cur gave a mournful look out of his big brown eyes, toppled over on his back, and with his four legs sticking rigidly in the air, adintruhly simulated the Immovablenoss of death. Ho even reused his panting In order to render the exhibition more realistic. The crowd gave the poor, starved looktng cur a "hand" of surprise and appreciation, and half a dozen or so of the men dropped coins Into the colored fellow s palm, admonishing him to see that the dog had a g>n»d supper. w# rui|«i," ran any one furnish the whole of 1 the poeiu beginning with "llod of our fin get; lest we forget."

This penny Mauritius stamp was Is* sued, together with a twopenny of sim ilar design in 18-17, Its extreme rarity being due not only to the limo which ban elapsed since its appearance, but also to the very small number printed.

Only one other *opy on the original envelope Is known, and that is in the Hrltish museaum. It Is believed that nearly all these stamps were used up on the day of Isuue In frankUig Invitations to an offi cial bal), and, as the envelope Is small and suitable only for Inclosing a card or single sheet of paper, and also as the date of tho postmark and the hand writing on the envelope are precisely similar to that of the only other known copy, a certain amount of probability on these grounds alone Is attached to the above theory.—Kansas City Jour nal.
