But the ivy now is twining Untrained o'er window and wal And no more the voice of the chi Is echoing through the hall. Through years of pain and sorrow, Since first I had no part. The thought of the dear old homestead Has lingered around my heart.; The porch embowered with roses, The gables' droppiug eaves, And the songs of the birds at twilight Amid the orchard leaves. And the forms of those who loved me In the happy childhood years Appear at the dusky windows. Through vision dimmed wilh teais, I hear their voices calling From the shadow far away. And I stretch my arms toward them In the gloom of the twilight gray. J3(lt Only tee mgm winns auswui As I cry through the dismal air; And only the bat conies swooping From the darkness of its lair. Yet still the voice of my childhood Is calling from far away, And the faces of those who lov( d me Smile through the sha lows gray. * HAVE FAITH IN CI!HIST. THE REV. T. DE WITT TALMAGE PREACHES IN LONDON. Pau! and Silas and the I'hilippiau Earthquake.No One Is Safe.All Must Trust the Lorn If They Would lie Saved.How to I>o It. London, Jan. IS..The Rev. T. De Witt Talraage, D. D., of Brooklyn, preached in this city today, taking for his text Acts xvi, 31: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." He said: Jails are dark, dull, damp, loathsome places even now; but they were worse in the apostolic times. I imagine, today, we are standing in the Philippian dungeon. Do you not feel the chill ? Do you not hear the groan of those incarcerated ones who for ten years have not seen the sunlight, and the dvep sigrh of women who remember their father's house, and mourn over their wasted estates? Listen again. It is the cough of a consumptive, or the struggle of one in a nigbtn-iiwt ft' a crrpflt. horror You listen again, and hear a culprit, his chains rattling as he rolls over in his dreams, and you say: "God pity the prisoner." But there is another souud in that prison. It is a song of joy and gladness. What a place to sing in! The music comes winding through the coron their backs are bleeding yet. ' lie flat on the cold ground* their fast in wooden sockets, and of c< they tfannot sleep. But they can Jailer, what are you doing with 1 people? Why have they been p nere? 0, they have been trying to 1 . the world better. Is that all? T1 all. A pit for Joseph. A lions Lfor -Daniel. A blazing furn act Sbadracli. Clubs for John We * An anathema for Philip Melanct A dungeon for Paul and Silas, while we are standing in the gloo x that Philippic dungeon, und we the mingling voices of sob, and gi )00 and blasphemy, and hallelujah, XX) deulv an earthquake! The iron >00 of the prison twist, the pillars c s8- off, the solid masonry begins to h and rock till all the doors swing c and the walls fall witha terrific c] »<3. The jailer, feeling himself respon ct. for these prisoneis, and feeling su rat to be honorable.since Brutus k r. himself, and Cato killed liiniself, Passing killed himself.nuts his s1 to his own heart, proposing- with strong, keen thrust to put an ei his excitement and agitation. Paul cries out: "Stop! stop! Do X* self no harm. We are all here." r I see the jailer running througl dust and amid the ruin of that pri aud I see him throwing himself il at the feet of these prisoners, cr ^ out: "What shall i do.' What: P I dot" Did Paul answer: "Getoi this place before there isanothcre; quake; put handcuff's and hopple ^ these other prisoners, lest they 3 awav?" No word of that kind. ( W pact, thrilling, tremendous ans answer memorable all through ^ and heaven: "Believe on the & Jesus Christ, and thou shall be sa\ P EVERY ONE IN DANGER. Well, we have ail read of the ei quake in Lisbon, in Lima, in A1 ^ and in Caraccas; but we live in a P itude where in all our memory t has not been one severe volcanic in. turbance. And vet we have seen earthquakes. Here is a man who y been building up a large fortune bid on the money market was fel all the cities. He thinks he has go yond all annoying rivalries in ti ^ and he says to himself: "No am free and* safe from all possible r turbation." But a national p strikes the foundations of the < mercial world, and crash! goes that magniticent business estab )0 ment. He is a man who has buili a very beautiful home. His daugl j have just came home from the s e(J nary with diplomas of gradual on His sons have started in life, hoi at temperate and pure. When the e ing lights are struck, there is a In and an unbroken family circle, there has been an accident down a beach. The young man venturec far out in the surf. The telegi * hurled the terror up to the city. II earthquake struck under the fou tious of that beautiful home. Th ano closed; the curtains dropped; laughter hushed. Crash! go all t domestic hopes, and prospects, am pectations. So, my friends, we 1 oil foil Kn oliol/Iiiff /Irwurn nf c i* 14.

The same reply that the ap< made to him is appropriate to ^ "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, v" thou shall be saved." There are s ,je documents of so little importance you do not care to put any more t your last name under them, or t your initials; but tbere are some d h, ments of so great importance that write out your full name. So Saviour in some parts of the Bib] called "Lord," and in other part: the Bible he is called "Jesus," ant other parts of the Bible he is ca ''Christ;" but that there might L mistake about this passage, all tl eajE.es ssms. in lozethei.i the. I j Jesus Christ.v Now, who is this Be1 ing that you want me to trust iu and ! believe in? Men sometimes come to i me with credentials and certificates of good character; but I cannot trust } them. There is some dishonesty in their looks that makes me know I shall be cheated if I confide in them. You cannot put your heart's confidence in a man until you know what stud" he is made of, and am 1 uni reasonable this morning, when | I stop to task you who this is j that you want me to trust in? No man would think of venturing his life 011 a vessel going out to sea, that had never been inspected. No, you must have the certificate hung amidships, telling how many tons" it carries, and how long ago it was built, and who built it, and all about it. And you .* not expeet me to risk the of my immortal interests on boaru any craft till you tell j me what it is made of, and where it j was made, and what it is. When, then, j I ask you who this is you want . ~ 4 * 4 »»> WA 11o n'O e a lilt? IV irudl< i LI, > l/u veil me ilV- uo u very attractive person. You tell nie that the contemporary writers describe him, and they give the color of his eyes, and the color of his hair, and they describe his whole appearance as being resplendent. Christ did not tell the children to come to him. "Suffer little children to come unto me," was not spoken to the children; it was spoken to the Pharisees. The children had come without any invitation. No sooner did Jesus appear than the little ones pitched from their mothers'arms, an avalanche of l>eauty and love, into his lap. "Suffer little children tocome unto me." That was addressed to the Pharisees; not to the children. Christ did not ask John to put his head down on his bosom; John could not help but put his head there. Such eyes, such cheeks, such a chin, such hair, such physical condition and appear- ance.why, it must have been com- pieteiy capuvauug uuu wiusuiuc. i suppose a Took at him was just to love him. 0! how attractive his manner, j Why, when they saw Christ coming along the street, they ran into their houses, and they wrapped up their invalids as quick* as they could, and brought thenn out that he might look at them. O! there was something so pleasant, so inviting, so cheering in everything he did, in his very look. When these sick ones were brought out did he say: "Take away these sores; do not trouble me with these leprosies?*' No, no; there was a kind look, there was a gentle word, there was a healing touch. They could not keep away from him. TERRIBLE AS WELL AS GENTLE. In addition to this softness of character, there was a fiery momentum. How the old hypocrites trembled before him. How the kings of the earth turned pale. Here is a plain man with a few sailors at his back, coming off the Sea of Galilee, going up to the palace of the Caesars, makng that palace quake to thcToundations, and utrhey iuacyT or insipiau^o^haracter feet was accompanied with majesty, i ~ i 1 : T L tint) unit umuipuieiii. i.«esi, tiie v\ sing, should not realize his earnestness, these Christ mounts the cross.

Do you believe it with your head or your heart? I will illustrate the difference. Yoi are in your house. In the morning you open a newspaper, and you reat how Capt. Braveheart on the se: ! risked his lu'e for the salvation of hi: passengers. You say: "jVhat a grant j fellow he must have been! His fam ilv*desorves very well of the country.' J You fold the newst ? and sit dowi at the table, and perliap.: do not thinl of that incident again. That is his torieal faith. But now you are on tin sea, and it is n^ght, and yon are asleep and are awakened by the shriek <> "Fiie!" Y<»u rush out on the deck You hear, amid the wringing of tin hands and the fainting, the cries: "No hone! we are lost! we are lost!1 The sail puts out its win^s of lire, tin ropes make a burning ladder in th< night heavens, the spirit of wrecl hisses in life waves. and or the hurricane deck shakes out it: banner of smoke and darkness. "l)owi with the life boats!" cries the captain "Down with the life boats!" IVopb rush into them. The boats are abou full. Room only for one more man You are standing on the deck liesidr the captain. Who shall it be? Yoi or tlie captain? The captain says ''You." You jump and are saved He stands there, and dies. Now. voi believe that Capt. Rraveheart sacri ficed himself for his passenger's, bu you believe it with love, with tears with hot and long continued exclania tions, with grief at his loss and will joy at your deliverance. That issav faith. In other words, what voi believe with all the heart, and believi in regard to yourself. On this hingi turns my sermon; aye, the salvatioi of your immortal soul. THE BRIDGE OP TIIE ItOCK OF AGES. You often go across a bridge yoi know nothing about. You do no know who built the bridge, von d< not know what material it is made of but you come to it, and walk over it and ask no questions.

He was just dropping again into sound slum! ber when the noises were repeated, Again he listened, and hearing noth; ing further. he was about to fall asleep when the third time he was aroused by the sounds. Iieing thoroughly stirred up now, lie went to the window, and lookingdown into the moonlit driveway, he beheld, as he supposed, the missing pet.

This was just before & o'clock in the morning. and, upon comparison, was found to be exactly the time when Nanki Pooh died heartbroken in Slough ton.

Twenty years ago diamonds were at three limes their present value. The discovery of the South African mines brought down the price, but amalga! mation in the last twelvemonths has put it up by above 100 per cent. The rough estimate is that auring the last few years the output of diamonds lias been 4,000.000 carats per annum, and that these, cut into 1,600.000 earats, have sold for £4,000,000. It costs ten shillings per carat to cut diamonds. ] The South African mines being now amalgamated, the output is reduced to one-half, i. e., 2,000,000 carats, but the merchants estimate that this will still produce £4,000,000, because thev regard this as a lixed amount which, no matter what the price of diamonds i may be, will be spent oil them.

The Putty Jar Gnu. The girls in Waterbury, Conn., got the "putty jar craze," and they made life a burden to the policemen of that town for awhile. The policemeu naturally inferred that all the young ladies in the street had gone stark mad. Bevies of fascinating and beautiful girls were seen to dart suddenly into liie street now and then, pounce upon something iu the gutter or on the roadbed, pick it up, and then return to the sidewalk and trip serenely on. They were merely gathering raw material for the. putty jar craze. One bewitching maiden fluently explained what the putty jar business is. "It's lots of fun," said she; "you bet it is. Why, you see, you get any kind of a jar, .the | cuter tne better, and you get your faj ther or brother to roll out some putty, I and you have him cover every part of the jar with the putty.

Q. 1 jCCt- ' ^ Why I Go to Chvefc on Baiay Sohteths. I attend church on rainy Sundays because: 1. God has blessed the Lord's day and hallowed it, making no exceptions of hot or cold or stormy days. 2. I expect my minister to be there and should be surprised if he were to stay at home for the weather. 3. If his hands fail through weakness I shall have great reason to blame my self, unless I sustain him by my prayers and presence. 4. By staying away I may lose the prayers which would bring God's blessing, and the sermon that would have done me great good. * 5. My presence is more needful on , Sundays when there are few than on AAA AM iL A lO must: uitYN nufu iuc i~.uuj.wi ^crowded. * ". 6. Whatever position I hold in the chur^hrliry example must influence others. If I stay away why not they? 7. On any important business, rainy weather does not keep me at home, and church attendance is, in God's sight, very important. 8. Among the crowds of pleasure seekers I see that no weather keeps the delicate female from the ball room, the party or the concert. 9. Such weather will show me on what foundation my faith is built; it will prove how much I love Christ. True love rarely fails to meet on appointment. 10. Those who stay from church because it is too warm or too rainy, frequently absent themselves on fair days. I must not take a step in that direction. w ., 11. Though my excuses satisfy myself, they must undergo God's scrutiny; and they must be well grounded to that. 12. There is a special promise that where two or three are met together in God's name he will be in the midst of them. 13. An avoidable absence from church is an infallible evidence . of ^ spiritual decay. Disciples first fol low Christ a distance, and then like Peter, do not know Him. 14. 3Iy faith is to be shown bymy self-denying Christian life, and not by the rise or fall of the thermome ter.' 15. Such yielding to surmountable difficulties prepare for yielding to those merely imaginary, until thousands never enter a chhrcH, and yet think they have good reasons for such neglect. 16.

And no more the voice of the chiIs echoing through the hall.

Through years of pain and sorrow,Since first I had no part.

The thought of the dear old homesteadHas lingered around my heart.;

The porch embowered with roses,The gables' droppiug eaves,

And the songs of the birds at twilightAmid the orchard leaves.

And the forms of those who loved meIn the happy childhood years

Appear at the dusky windows.Through vision dimmed wilh teais,

I hear their voices callingFrom the shadow far away.

And I stretch my arms toward themIn the gloom of the twilight gray.

Yet still the voice of my childhoodIs calling from far away,

that the contemporary writers describehim, and they give the color of hiseyes, and the color of his hair, and theydescribe his whole appearance as beingresplendent. Christ did not tellthe children to come to him. "Sufferlittle children to come unto me," wasnot spoken to the children; it was

spoken to the Pharisees. The childrenhad come without any invitation. Nosooner did Jesus appear than the littleones pitched from their mothers'arms,an avalanche of l>eauty and love, intohis lap. "Suffer little children tocomeunto me." That was addressed to thePharisees; not to the children. Christdid not ask John to put his head downon his bosom; John could not helpbut put his head there.

It costs tenshillings per carat to cut diamonds.

] The South African mines being now

amalgamated, the output is reduced toone-half, i. e., 2,000,000 carats, but themerchants estimate that this will stillproduce £4,000,000, because thev regardthis as a lixed amount which, nomatter what the price of diamonds

The Putty Jar Gnu.The girls in Waterbury, Conn., got

the "putty jar craze," and they madelife a burden to the policemen of thattown for awhile. The policemeu naturallyinferred that all the young ladiesin the street had gone stark mad.Bevies of fascinating and beautifulgirls were seen to dart suddenly intoliie street now and then, pounce uponsomething iu the gutter or on the roadbed,pick it up, and then return to thesidewalk and trip serenely on. Theywere merely gathering raw materialfor the. putty jar craze. One bewitchingmaiden fluently explained whatthe putty jar business is. "It's lots offun," said she; "you bet it is. Why,you see, you get any kind of a jar, .the

Why I Go to Chvefc on BaiaySohteths.

I attend church on rainy Sundaysbecause:

1. God has blessed the Lord's dayand hallowed it, makingno exceptionsof hot or cold or stormy days.

2. I expect my minister to bethere and should be surprised if hewere to stay at home for the weather.

3. If his hands fail through weaknessI shall have great reason toblame my self, unless I sustain himby my prayers and presence.

4. By staying away I may lose theprayers which would bring God'sblessing, and the sermon that wouldhave done me great good.* 5. My presence is more needful on ,

Sundayswhen there are few than onAAA AM iL A lO

must: uitYN nufu iuc i~.uuj.wi i«

^crowded.*

".6. Whatever position I hold in the

chur^hrliry example must influenceothers. If I stay away why notthey?

7. On any important business,rainy weather does not keep me athome, and church attendance is, inGod's sight, very important.

8. Among the crowds of pleasureseekers I see that no weather keepsthe delicate female from the ballroom, the party or the concert.

9. Such weather will show me on

what foundation my faith is built;it will prove how much I love Christ.True love rarely fails to meet on appointment.

10. Those who stay from churchbecause it is too warm or too rainy,frequently absent themselves on fairdays. I must not take a step in thatdirection. w .,

11. Though my excuses satisfymyself, they must undergo God'sscrutiny; and they must be wellgrounded to that.

12. There is a special promise thatwhere two or three are met togetherin God's name he will be in themidst of them.

13. An avoidable absence fromchurch is an infallible evidence .

of ^

spiritual decay. Disciples first follow Christ a distance, and then likePeter, do not know Him.

14. 3Iy faith is to be shown bymyself-denying Christian life, and notby the rise or fall of the thermometer.'

15. Such yielding to surmountabledifficulties prepare for yielding tothose merely imaginary, until thousandsnever enter a chhrcH, and yetthink they have good reasons for suchneglect.
