H The Value of Longevity. Dr. Felix L. Oswald , in writing or H tbo valuo of longevity , Bays : H - "Can thoro bo a doubt that Burns and Keats foresaw tlto issno of llioir otrun- glo against bigotry , or ihat Oervantcs , i m tho gloom of las misery could read fc * , * a iho sign * ° f tbo dawn presaging a sun- T S purBt of posthumous famo ? sH'l- I } ) vSpinozanndSohillerdicdutthetbresh- ssB'r If > ° * hoir Roal ; Pascal , Harvey , Mac- LH' - I % f { oulay , Buckle and Birhat l < * ft tboir in- LijX Jit 1 "u l ° works balf iinisbed ; Raphael , H * * * J7 Mozart and Byron died at tbo vergo of H [ 7/ a summit winch perhaps no other foot shall over approach. t Hf "Who knows how often , since tho H dawn of modorn seienco , tho chill of death hns palsied a hand that had all but lifted tho veil of Isis * temple ? Or H in bow many thousand lives timo alone H would have solved all discords into bar- monies ? An incrcaso of longevity would indeed , solve tho vexing riddles ! of oxistonco ; it would furnish tho pe culiar endorsement of Mr. Mallock's _ j , conclusion. It would civo tbo vicissi- Hji tudes of fortuuo u chanco to assert tboir I equalizing tendencies , it would supply - a missing link in tho arguments of that natural religion that trusts tho equi poise of justico in the apparent caprices of human fato. ! "The prico of longevity would re deem tho mortgago of our earthly para dise" nnd it can bo prolonged and l < should be , with caro and tho uso of H \ proper medicine at tho right time. Hi Owing to tho stress , tho worry , and Hg tho nnuoynnco of every day life , there | ' is no doubt but that tens of thousands If of men nnd women yearly fill prema- H I ture graves.

' 7 Tho Great Brooklyn Divine's Sunday Discourse. "Thou Shalt Eemember All tho Way Which tho Lord Thy Goi Led Thee. " UnooKLYN , May 8. At tho Tabcrnuclo today , tho liov. T. Do AVitt Talmugo , D. D „ preached a scruion on tho subject , "Other Days Lived Over , " and made rcfcrcnco to tho falsehood that ho had advocated miscegenation of tho whlto nnd black races. Tho vast congregation sang tho hymn beginning : Our God. our ncp ) In ases past. Our liopo fur yenri to come. Dr. Talmago's text was Deuteronomy vill , 2 : uTliou shalt reincmber all tho way which tho Lord thy God led thee. " Ho said : Before entering on my subject I wish to say that some newspaper correspondents , rofcrring to a recent sermon in which I welcomed foreign nationalities to this country , bavo said that I advocatoa as a desirable thing the intcrnmrrinKO of tho white and bluclc races. I nevor said so , I never thought so , and any ono who so mis represents that sermon is cither a villain or a fool , perhaps both. But to open this morning's subject I havo to say God in the text advises ttio pcoplo to look back upon thejr past history. It will do us all good to rehearse the scenes between this May morning nnd our cradle , whether it was rocked in country or town. A few days atro , with my sister nnd brother , I visited tho place of my boyhood. It wan ono of tho most emotional and absorbing days of my life. There stands tho old house , and n9 I wont through the rooms I said , "I could find my way here with my eyes shut , although I havo not been here in forty years. " Thoro was tho sitting room where a large family group every evening gathered , tho most of tnenx now in a better world. There was the old barn whero wo hunted for Eastor eggs , and tho placo where tho horses stood. There is where tho orchard was , only three or four trees now lert of all the grovo that onco bore aoples , and such apples too. There is tho brook down which we rode to tho watering of tho horses bare back and with a ropo halter. Wo also visit ed tho cemetery where many of our kindred are waiting for the resurrection , tho old people side by side , after a journey together of sixty years , only about three years be tween tho timo of their going. Thero also sleep the dear old neighbors who used to tie their horses under tho shed of tho country meeting house nnd sit at the end of the pew , singing "Duke Sti-eet , " and "Balerma , " and "Antioch. " Oh they were a glorious race of men and women who did their work well , raised a splendid lot of boys nnd cirls , and aro now as to their bodies in silont neighborhood on earth , but as to their souls in jubilant neighborhood before tho throno of God. I feel that my journey and visit last week did me good , if not in person then in thought to revisit the scenes of boyhood or girlhood. "Thou shalt remember all tho way which tho Lord they God led thee. " \ outh is apt too much to spend all its timo in looking forward. Old ago is apt too much to spend all Its time in looking backward. People in mid-life and on tho apex look both ways. It would bo well for us , I think , however , to spend more time In reminiscence. By the-constitution of our nature we spend most of the time looking lorwurd , as the vast majority of this audi ence live not so much in tho present as in the future. I find that you mean to make a reputation , jtou mean to establish yourself , and tho advantages that you expect to achieve absorb a great deal of your time. But see no harm In this if it docs not make you discontented with the present or disqualify you for existing duties. It is a useful thing sometimes to look backhand to see tho dangers we have es caped , and to see tho sorrows we have suf fered , and the trials and wanderings of our earthly pilgrimage , and to sum up our en joyments. I mean this morning , so far as God may help me , to stir up your memory of the past , so that in the review you may be encouraged , and humbled , and urged to pray. Thero is a chapel In Florence with a fresco by Guldo. It was covered up with two-indies of Btucco'untib our'American- and European artist went there , and after long toil removed the covering and re traced tho fresco. And I am aware that tho memory of the past , with many of you , is all covered up with ten thousand obliter ations , and I propose this morning , so far as the Lord may help me , to take away the covering , that the old picture may shine out again. I want to bind in one sheaf all your past advantages , and I want to bind in another sheaf all your past adversities. It is a pre cious harvest and I must be cautious how I swing the scythe. Among the greatest advantages of your past life was the early home and its sur roundings. The bad men of tho day , for the most part , dip their heated passions out of the boiling spring of an unhappy home. We are not surprised to lind that Byron's heart was a concentration of sin , when we hear his mother was abandoned , and that' she made sport of his infirmity , and often called him "the lame * brat. " He who has vicious parents has to fight every inch of his way if he would maintain his integrity , and at last reach the home of the good in heaven. Perhaps your early home was In the city. It may have been in the days when Canal street , New York , was far up town and the site of this present church was an excur sion into the country. That old house in the city may have been demolished or changed into stores , and it seemed like sacrilege to you , for there was more mean ing in that plain house , in that small house , than thero is in a granite mansion or a tur- reted cathedral. Looking back this morn ing you see it as though it were yesterday the sitting room , where the loved ones sat by the plain lamplight , the mother at the evening stand , the brothers and sisters , perhaps long ago gathered into the skies , then plotting mischief on the floor under the table , your father with a firm voice commanding a silence that lasted half a minute. Oh , those were good days ! If you had your foot hurt , your mother always had a soothing salve to heal it. If you were wronged in the street , your father was al ways ready to protect you. The year was one round of frolic and mirth. Your great est trouble was like an April shower , more sunshine than shower. The heart had not been ransacked by troubles , nor htd sick ness broken it , and no lamb had a warmer sheepfold than the home in which your child hood nestled. Perhaps you were brought up in the country. You stand now to-day in memory under the old tree. You clubbed it forfruit that was not quite ripe because you couldn't wait any longer. You hear the brook rum bling along over pebbles. You step again into the furrow where your father in his shirt sleeves shouted to the lazy oxen. You frighten the swallows from the rafters of the barn , and take just one egg , and silence your conscience by sayiug they won't miss it You take a drink again out of the very bucket that the old well fetched up. You go for the cows at night , .and find them wagging their heads through the bars. Oft- times in the dusty and busy streets you wish you were home again on that cool grass , or in the rag carpeted hall of the farmhouse , through which there was the ' breath of new mown hay or the blossom of buckwheat. You may have in your windows now beau- ! tiful plants and flowers brought from across the seas , but not one of them stirs in your soul so much charm and memory as the old ivy and the yellow sunflower that stood sentinel along the garden wall , and the forget-me-nots playing hide-and-seek mid the long grass. The father , who used to come in sunburnt from the fields and sit down on tho door sill and wipe "the sweat from his brow , may have gone to his ever lasting rest. The mother , who used to sit at the door a little bent over , cap and spectacles on , her face mellowing with the vicissitudes of many years , may have put clown her gray head on tho pillow in the valley , but forget that home you never wilL Have you thanked God for it ? Have 3'ou rehearsed all these blessed reminiscences ? Oh. thank God for a Christian father ; thank God for a Christian mother ; thank God for an early Christian altar at which you were taught to kneel ; thank God for an early Christian home. I bring to mind another passago in the history of your life. The day came when you sot ud your own household. The days passed along in quiet blessedness. You twain sat at the table morning and night and talked over your plans for the future. Th-3 most insignificant affair in your life l > ecame tho subject of mutual consultation and advisement You were so happy you felt you never could bo any happier. One day a dark cloud liovered over your dwell ing and it got darker and darker , but out of that cloud the shining messenger of God descended to incarnate an immortal spirit- Two little feet started on an eternal jour ney , and you were to lead them a ges j ) HWHLMpSHHIsiPCHBlI ' i rflash InhMvoaVcoronct , and you to.polish it ; eternal ages of light and darkness watching tho starting out of a nowly created creature. You rejoiced and you trembled at tho responsibility that In your possession nn immortal treasuro was placed. You prayed and rejoiced , and wont and wondered , and prayed and rojolccd , and wopt and wonder ed ; you were earnest in supplication that you might load It through lifo into tho kingdom of God. There was a tremor in your earnestness. Thoro was a double. In terest about that homo. Thero was an ad ditional interest'why you Rhould stay thoro ana bo faithful , and when in a few months your house wa * filled with tho music of tho child's ' Uughtoryou were struck through with'tho fact that you hud a stupendous mission. Have you kept that vow ? Havo you neglected any of these duties ? Is your homo as much to you as it used to bo ? Have thoso anticipations been gratified ? God helnyou to-day in your solemn rcmlnlsconco , and lot his mercy fall upon your soul if your kindness has been ill requited. God havo mercy on tho parent on tho wrinkles of whoso faco is written the story of a child's sin. God havo mercy on tho mother who , in addition to her other pangs , has the pangs of a child's inlnulty. Oh , thoro aro many , many sad sounds In this sad world , but tho saddest sound that is over heard is tho breaking of a mother's heart Aro thero any hero who remember that In that homo thoy were unfaithful ? Aro there thoso who wandered off from that early home , and left tho mother to die with a broken heart ? Oh , I stir that reminiscence to-day. I find another point in your lifo history. You found ono day you woro in tho wrong road ; you couldn't sleep atnight ; there was just ono word that seemed to sob through your banking house , or through your office , or through your shop , or your oed room , and that word was "Eternity. " You said , "I am not ready for It O God , have mercy. " Tho Lord heard. Peace came to your heart. In tho breath of the hill and tho waterfall's dash you heard tho voice of God's love ; the clouds and tho trees hailed you with gladness ; you came into tho house of God. You remember how your hand trembled as you took the Communion. You remem ber tho old minister who consecrated it , and you remember tho church officials who car ried it through tho aisle ; you remember tho old .people who at tho close of tho service took your hand in theirs in congratulating sympathy , as much as to say , "Welcome home , you lost prodigal ; " and though thoso hands aro all withered away , that Com munion Sabbath Is resurrected this morn ing ; it is resurrected with all Its nrayers , and songs , and sermons , and transfigura tion. Havo you kept those vows ? Havo you been a backslider ? God help you. This day knosl at tho foot of mercy and start again for heaven. Start to-day as you started then. I rouse your soul by that reminiscence. But I must not spend any more of my timo in going over tho advantages of your life. I just pat them all in one great sheaf , and I wrap them up in your memory with one loud harvest song , such as tho reapers sing. Praise tho Lord , ye blood bought mortals of earth ! Praise the Lord , ye crowned spirits of heaven 1 But some of you havo not always had a smooth life. Some of you aro now in the shadow. Others had their troubles years ago , you aro a mere wreck of what you once were. I must gather up the sorrows of your past life ; but how shall I do it ? You say it is impossible , as you had so many tro ables and adversities. Then I will just take two , tho first trouble and the last trouble. As when you aro walking along the street , and there has been music in the distance , you unconsciously find yourselves keeping step to the music , so when you started life your very life was a musical time-beat Tho air was full of joy and hilarity ; with the britrht , clear oar you mude the boat skip ; you went on , and life grew brighter until after a while suddenly a voice from heaven said , "Halt ! " and quick as the sunshine you halted ; you grew pale , you confronted your first sorrow. You had no idea that the flush on your child's cheek was an un healthy flush. You said it can't beany- thing serious. Death in slippered feet walked round about the craddle. You did not hear the tread ; but after a while the truth flashed on you. You walked tho floor. Oh , If you could , with your strong , stout hand have wrenched that child from the eestroyer. You-went to your room and you said. "God , save my child ; God , save my child. " The world seemed going out in darimess. You said , "I can't bear it ; I can't bear it. " Yeu felt as If you could not put the long lashes over the bright eyes , nevor to see them again sparkle. Oh , If you could have taken that little one in your arms and with it leaped the gravehow glad ly you would have done It ! Ob , If you could let your property go , your houses go , your land and your storehouses go , how gladly you would have allowed them to de part if you only could have kept that one treasure ! But one day there arose from the heavens a chill blast that swept over the bedroom , and instantly all the licht went out , and there was darkness thick , murky impenetrable , shuddering darkness. But God didn't leave you there. Mercy spoke. As you took up the cup , and was about to put it to your lips , God said , "Let it pass , " and forthwith , as by the hand of angels , another cup was put into your hands ; it was the cup of God's consolation. And as you have sometimes lifted the head of a wounded soldier , and poured wine into his lips , so God put his left arm under your head , and with his right hand ho poured into your lips the .wine of his comfort and consolation , and you looked at the empty cradle and looked at your broken heart , and you looked at the Lord's chastisement , and you said , "Even so , Father , for so it seemeth good in thy sight" Ah , it was your first trouble. How did you get over it ? God comforted you. You have been a better man ever since. You have been a better woman ever since. In the jar of the closing gate of the sepulcher you heard the clanging of the opening gate of heaven , and you f eit an irresistible draw ing heavenward. You have Deen purer of mind ever since that night when the little one for the last time put its arms around your neck and said , "Good night , papa ; good night , mamma. Meet me in heaven. " But I must come on down to your * latest sorrow. What was it ? Perhaps it was your own sickness. The child's tread on the stair , or the tick of the watch on the stand disturbed you. Through the long weary days you counted tho figures in the carpet or the flowers in the wall paper. Oh , the weariness , tho exhaustion ! Oh , the burning pangs ! Would God it were morn ing , would God it were night , were your frequent cry. But you are better , or per haps even well. Havo you thanked that God to-day you can come out in the fresh air ; that you aro in this place to hear God's name , and to sing God's praise , and implore God's help , and to ask God's forgiveness ? Bloss the Lord who healeth all ourdlseases , and redeemeth our lives from destruction. Perhaps your last sorrow was a financial embarrassment I congratulate some of 3ou on your lucrative profession or occupa tion , on ornate apparel , on a commodious residence everything you put your hands to seems to turn to gold. But there are others of you who are like the ship on which Paul sailed , where two seas met , and you are broken by the violence of the waves. By an unadvised indorsement , or by a con junction of unforeseen events , or by fire , or storm or a senseless panic , you have been flung headlong , and where you. once dis pensed great charities , now you have hard work to make the two ends meet Have you forgotten to thank God for your days of prosperity , and that through your trials some of you have made invest ments which will continue after the last bank of this world has exploded , and the silver and gold are molten in the fires of a burning world ? Have you , amid all your losses and discouragements , forgot that there was bread on your table this morn ing , and that thero shall bo a shelter for your head from the storm , and there is air for your lungs , and blood for your heart , and light for your eye , and a glad and glorious and triumphant religion for your soul ? " Perhaps your last trouble was a bereave ment That heart which in childhood was your refuge , the parental heart , and which has been a source of the quickest sympathy ever since , has suddenly become silent for ever , and now sometimes , whenever in sud den annoyance and without deliberation you say "I will go and tell mother ' the thought flashes on you , "I have no mother , " or the father , with voice left tender , "but as stanch and earnest and loving as ever , watchful of all your ways , exultant over your success without saying much , al though the old people do talk it over by themselves , his trembling hand on that staff which you now keep as a family relic , his memory embalmed in grateful hearts , is taken'away forever. "Or , there was your companion Ut life , sharer of your joys an sorrows , taken , leaving the heart and old ruin , where the chill winds blow over a wide wilderness of desolation , tho sands of the desert driving across tho place which onco bloomed like the garden of God. A nd Abraham mourns for S/iriJi ttaj & .ve of Machyelah. Go- i ? -a : > . . * . a . _ ins along your path In life , suddenly , right beiore you vru an open grave. Pcoplo looked down and they saw It was only a few feet deep and a low feet wldo , but to you It was a cavern .down which went all your hopes nnd all your expectations. But cheer up in tho namo of tho Lord Jesus Christ , tho Comforter. Ho is not going to forsako you. Did tho Lord tako that child out of your arms ? Why , ho is going to shelter it hotter than you could. Ho is going to array it in a white robe , and with palm branch ft will bo all ready to greet you at your coming homo. Blessed tho broken heart that Jesus heals. Blessed tho importunate cry that Josus compassion ates. Blessed tho weeping eye from which tho soffhand of Jesus wipes away tbo tear. I was sailing down tho St John river , Canada , which is tho Rhino and tho Hudson commingled In ono scene of beauty and grandeur , and whilo I was on tho deck of the steamer a gentleman pointed out to mo the places of interest , and he said , "All this is interval land , and it is tho richest land in all tho provinces of Now Brunswick and Nova Scotia. "What , " said I , "do you mean by interval land ? " "WelL" ho said , "this land Is sub merged for a part of tho year ; spring fresh ets come down , and all these plains nro overflowed with tho water , and tho water leaves a rich deposit , and when the waters aro gone the harvost springs up , and thoro is tho grandest harvost that was ever reap ed. " And I instantly thought , "It is not tho heights of tho church nnd it is not tho heights of this world that is tho sccno of tho greates prosperity , but tho soul over which tho floods of sorrow have gone , tho soul over which tho freshets of tribulation havo torn their way , that yields thegroatest fruits of righteousness , and the largest harvest for time , and tho richest harvest for eternity. " Bless God that your soul ia interval land. But these reminiscences reach only to this morning. Thero will yot be one more point of tremendous reminiscence , and that is tho last hour of life , when we have to look over all our past existence. What a moment that will be ! I place Napoleon's dying reminis cence on St. Helena beside Mrs. Judson's dying remininiscence In tbo harbor of St Helena , tho same Island , twenty years after. Napoleon's dying reminiscence was ono of delirium , "Head of the army. " Mrs. Judson's dying reminiscence , as sho came homo from her missionary toil and her life of solf-sacrlfice for God , dying in the cabin of tho ship in tho harbor of btHelena , was , "I always did love tho Lord Jesus Christ" And then , the historian says she foil into a sound , sleep for an hour , and woke amid tho songs of angels. I place the dying reminiscence of Augus tus Caesar against the dying reminiscence of the Apostle Paul. The dying reminis cence of Augustus Caesar was , addressing his attendants , "Have I played my part well on the stage of life ? " and they answered in the affirmative , and ho said , "Why , then , don't you applaud me ? " The dying remi niscence of Paul the Apostle was , "I havo. fought a good fight , I have kept the faith ; henceforth thero is laid up for mo a crown of righteousness , which the Lord , the righteous Judge , will give me in that day , and not to me only , but to all them that lovo his appearing , " Augustus Caesar died amid pomp and great surroundings. Paul uttered his dying reminiscence looking up through the wall of a dungeon. God grant that our last hour may be tho closing of a useful life , and tho opening of a glorious eternity. i A Practical Definition of Heroism. Capt. Murrell , of the rescue steamer Missouri , proves himself to be much better at doing' than , at talking. Ho was the honored guest and hero at a succession of enthusiastic receptions in Philadelphia , Tuesday , and the sum of all he could be got to say in response to the extraordinary demonstrations was , "I don't know what it is all for. I want to give my officers and men credit for the act which was only a duty. A ship was sinking and the passengers ' .vere in distress and we took them aboard. If any other English captain were there he would have done the same thing. " Capt Murrell has shown himself to be different from many other men in like situation in that he not only recognized his duty , but did it Not all of us do duty when we see it. And he was different from many other men also when , recognizing his duty and resolving * to perform it , he proved himself competent to perform it skill fully and well. Few men are able , however willing they may be , to dis charge without mistake and without disaster such grave responsibility as was thrust upon this man by tho wrecking of the Danmark. Capt. Murrell is one of the world's heroes not only , but is possessed of a hero's ability to judge wisely and act quickly and skillfully ; and for his practical success even more than for his good intention , he is entitled to all the honor men can pay him. The world is full of men of good in tentions who , when a crisis comes , are incompetent to meet it and fail igno- minously. Such men are never heroes. Milwaukee Wisconsin. . < s Poison in Cigarette Wrappers. Dr. Probst , of the state board of health , received word this morning that will not be hailed with much sat isfaction by the smokers of cigarettes in this and other cities. According to what Dr. Ashman , the chief of the Cleveland board of health , says , cig arette-smoking in the Forest City has received a set-back that will take some time for its recovery. The case , as re ported by him , is that of a young man who was suddenly stricken with a pe culiar disease. He lost his appetite , became pallid and emaciated , and seemed to be fast approaching the last stages of consumption. His friends be came alarmed , and , knowing consump tion was not hereditary in the family , set on foot an investigation that re vealed a startling state of affairs. It was found that the young man was a cigarette fiend well nigh incurable. But so rapid was his decline his friends were not satisfied that this was all , and they demanded an analysis of the wrapper of the cigarette which he was in the habit of smoking. An analysis was made , revealing the truth of the young man's unfortunate condition. The wrapper contained arsenic in large quantities , and the victim was suffer ing from arsenical poisoning.

If her education makes her briirht , pleas ant , entertaining , and sensible she will marry , providing a man worth having is within reach. But if her education makes her critical , dogmatic and pedan tic she will not marry for the simple rea son that no man will ask her. All avo- men ought to be well educated. Noth ing more requires a wise and well train ed mind than to administer well the affairs of a household. An education l which unfits a woman for this is not worth tho name. Western Recorder.

She is Miss A. , and when she played leading Shakespearean parts in the provinces her rival was Miss B. , who was taking the same character in another company. Mr unknown friend had . supported both , and what Miss A. said to him about her rival was that "she had onco met B. at Tate , tho agent's and B. spoke so .much about her self that she" ( the unhappy Miss A. ) "could not get a word in edgewaj's. " " Subsequently , Miss B. informed him that "she once had a talk with A. , at Tate's , if that could be called a talk in which A. 's tongue wagged continuously about her own affairs from beginning to end of the interview. " Time.
