Christian Fortitude.
Rev. Dr. Talmage preached in the Brooklyn Tabernacle trom the follow- ing text: “And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the Lord: and they fell all seven together and were put to death in the days of the harvest, in the first days, in the be- ginning of barley harvest. And Riz- pah, the daughter of Aiah, took sack- cloth and spread it for her upon the rock from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven and suffered neither the birds of the sir to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.”"— II. Samuel xxi: 9, 10.
Saul, said the preacher, had basely slaughtered the Gibeonites, and to atone for the outrage some of his fam- ily must die. Though famine had struck the land there were here and there fields of grain ready for the sickle, and through the hot summer air came the shouting of the reapers. His sons were led to the top of the hill and hanged until dead. Rizpah, the mother of two of the slain, came out to watch the bodies of her children stil] suspened onthe gibbet. She sat down to her gastly and horrible work, and the rocky desolation echoed with her wailing. Shrinking not from the gloom of night, fleeing not from the outery of hungry beasts which filled the wilderness with horrible clamor, the rising morning and setting sun looked upon that grief-worn soul guarding the dead. ‘This strange inci- dent in Bible story shows that attract- iveness of person and elevation of pos- tion are no security against trouble, Rizpah was one of Saul’s favorites. Her personal attractions had won his heart. She had been carressed of fork tune, and she had looked with pride on her princely children; but the scene changed. Behold her in banishment! Some of the worst distresses have come to royalty and wealth. On what tes. selated hall has there not stood the solemn bier? Under what exquisite fresco has there not been enacted a tragedy of disasters? What curtained couch hath heard no ery of pain? What harp hath never thrilled with sorrow ? What lordly nature hath never leaned against carved pillar and made utter- ance of woe? Gall is not less bitter when drunk froma golden chalice than when taken from a pewter mug. Sick- ness will frost the rosiest cheek, wrinkle the smoothest brow and stiffen the sprightliest step. You stand amid your slain, anguished and woe struck, like Rizpah on the rock.
But that is the place to which God comes. Jacob, with his head on a stone saw the shining ladder, Israel in the desert beheld the marshalling of the fiery batton. John on barren Patmos heard trumpeting, and the clapping of wings, and the stroke of seraphic fingers on golden harps, and nothing but heavenly strength served Rizpah for her appaling mission amid the screams of wild birds and the stealthy tread of hungry monsters. The grand- est visions of glory, the most raptur- ous of Christian love, the greatest tri- umphs of grace, have come to the tired and the hard pressed, and the betrayed and the crushed.
The preacher then showed how the tragedy of the text displayed the
courage of woman amid great emer- gencies. ——__—»2 os -— -
Hore.—Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, of sickness or captivity would, without this comfort, be insupportable; nor does it appear that the happiest lot of terrestrial existence can set us above the want of this general blessing ; or that life, when the gifts of nature and of fortune are accumulated upon it, would not still be wretched, were it not elevated and delighted by the expec- tation of some new possession, of some enjoyment yet behind, by which the wish shall be at last satisfied, and the heart filled up to the utmost extent. Hope is, indeed, very fallacious and
romises are far more valuable than the gifts of fortune,and it seldom frustrates us without assuring us of recompensing the delay by a greater bounty.

The Greatest Medical Diseovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
DR. MELVIN’S Capsicum Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effeet acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for
JR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you ean rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPsI- cuM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
