JSrECIAL TELEGBAH TO THE DISPXTCII.1 Bbookiys-- , February 17. Dr. Talmage preached this morning in the "Brooklyn Tabernacle on the subject: "The Literature of the Dust," After explaining appropriate passages of Scripture concerning Christ, he gave out the hymn: Oh, couldl epeautbe matchless worth, Oh, could 1 sound the clones forth Which In my Savior shine. Text: John viii, 6: "Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground. A Mohammedan mosque stands now where once stood Herod's temple, the scene of my text Solomon's temple had stood there, but Nebuchadnezzar thundered it down. Zorobabcl's temple had stood there, but that had been prostrated. Now we take our places in a temple that Herod built be- cause he was iond of great architecture and he wanted the preceding temples to seem insignificant. Put eight or ten modern cathedrals together and they would not equal that structure. It covered 19 acres. There were marble pillars supporting roofs of cedar, and silver tables on which, stood golden cups, and there were carvings ex- quisite and inscriptions resplendent, glit- tering balustrades and ornamented gate- ways. The bulling of this temple kept 10,000 workmen bdl. 4G years. In that stupendous pile of pomp and mag- nificence sat Christ, aud a listening throng stood abont Him, when a wild disturbance took place. A group of men are pulling and pushing a woman who had committed the worst crime against society. When they have brought her in front of Christ, they ask that he sentence her to death by stoning. They are a critical, merciless, dis- ingenuous crowd. They want to get Christ into controversy and public reprehension. If He say, "Let her die," they will charge Him with cruelty. If He lets her go, they will charge Him with being in complicity with wickedness. "Whichever way He does, they will howl at Him. Then occurs a scene which has not been sufficiently regarded. - He leaves the lounge or bench on which He was sitting and goes down on one knee, or both knees, and with the forefinger of His right hand He begins TO WRITE IX THE DUST of the floor, word after word. But they were not be diverted or hindered. Thev kept on demanding that he settle this case of transgression until he looked up and told them that they might themselves begin the woman's assassination, if the complainant who had never done anything wrong him-tc- lf would open the fire. "Go ahead, but be sure that the man who flings the first missile is immaculate." Then he resumed writing with his finger in the dust of the iloor, word after word. Instead of looking over his shoulder to see what he had writ- ten the scoundrels skulked away. Finally, the whole place is clear of pursuers, an- tagonists and plaintiffs, and when Christ has finished this strange chirography in the dust, he looks up and finds the woman all alone. The prisoner is the only one of the court room left, the judges, the police. the prosecuting attorneys having cleared out. Christ is victor, and he says to the woman: "Where are the prosecutors in this case? Are they all gone? Then I dis- charge you; go and sin no more." I have always wondered what Christ wrote on the ground. . For do you realize that it is the only time that he ever wrote at all? I know that Busebius savs that Christ once wrote a letter to Abgarns, the king of Edessa, but there is no good evidence of such a correspondence. The wisest being the world ever saw, and the one who had more to say than any one who ever lived, never writing a book or a chapter, or a pace or a paragraph, or a word on parchment. Nothing but this literature of the dust, and one sweep of a brush or one breath of a wind obliterated that forever. Among all the rolls of the volumes of the first library founded at Thebes there was NOT ONE SCROLL OF CHRIST. Among the 700.000 books of the Alexan- drian library, which by the infamous decree of Caliph Omar were used as fuel to heat the 4,000 baths of the city, not one sentence had Christ penned. Among all the infin- itude of volumes now standing in the libra ries o jcu.nuurgn, me ritisn museum, or Berlin or Vienna, or the learned reposito- ries of all nations, not one word written di- rectly by the finger of Christ. All that he ever wrote he wrote in dust uncertain, shifting, vanishing dust. My text says he stooped down and wrote on the ground. Standing straight up a man might write on the ground with a staff", but if with his fingers he would write in the dust, he must bend clear over. Aye, he must get at least on one knee or he cannot write on the ground. Be not surprised that he stooped down. His whole life was a stooping down. Stooping down from castle to barn. Stooping down from celestial homage to mobocratic jeer. From residence above the stars to where a star had to fall tn designate his landing place. From heaven's front door to the world's back gate. From writing in round and silvered letters or con- stellation and galaxy on the blue scroll of heaven, to writing on the ground in the dust, which the feet of the crowd had left in Herod's temple. If in January you have ever stepped out cf a prince's "conservatory that had Mexican cactus and magnolias in full bloom, into the outside air ten degrees below zero, you may get some idea of Christ's change of atmosphere from celestial to terrestrial. How many heavens there are I know not, but there are at least three, for Paul was"caught up into the third heaven." Christ came down from highest .heaven to the second heaven, and down from second heaven to first heaven, down swifter than meteors ever fell, down amidst stellar splen- dors that himself eclipsed, down through clonds, through atmospheres, through ap- palling space, down to where there wis no lower depth. From being waited on at the banquet of the skies to the broiling of fish for his own breakfast on the banks of the lake. From emblazoned chariots of eternity to the saddle of a mule's back. The homage cherubic, seraphic, archangelic, to the pav- ing of G24 cents of tax to Cesar. From THE DEATHLESS COTJ2JTRT to a tomb built to hide human dissolution. The uplifted wave of Galilee was high, but he had to come down before, with his feet, he could touch it, and the whirlwind that rose above the billow was higher yet, but he had to come down before, with his lip, tes coma kiss it into quiet, .uetniehein a stoo-in- g down. Nazareth a stooping down. Death between two burglars a stooping down. Yes, it was in consonance with humiliations that had gone before, and with self abnegation that came after, when on that memorable day in Herod's temple he stooped down and wrote on the ground. "Whether the words he was writing were in Greek or Latin or Hebrew, I cannot say, for he knew all those languages. But he is still stooping, and with his finger writing on the ground; in the winter in letters of crystal, in the spring in letters of flowers; in summer in golden letters of harvest, in autumn in letters of fire on fallen leaves. How it would sweeten up and enrich and emblazon this world could we see Christ's ctligraphy all over it. This world was not flung out into space thousands of Years ago and then left to look oat for itself. It is stiil under the divine care. Christ never for a half second takes His hand off of it, or it would soon be a shipwreckdd world, an abandoned world, a dead world. "Let there be light," was said at the beginning. And Christ stands under the wintry skies and says, Let there be snowflakes to enrich the earth; and under the clouds of spring and says, Come, ye blossoms and make redolent the orchards; and in September dips the branches into the vat of beautiful colors and swings them in the hazy air. No whim of mine is this. "Without Him was not anything made tht was made." Christ writing on the ground. If we could see His hand in all the passing seasons bow it "WOtTLD ILLUMINE THE WORLD. All verdure and foliage would be alle goric, and again we would hear Him say as of old, "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow;" and we would not hear the whistle of a quail or the cawing of a raven or the roundelay ol a brown thresher, with- out saying, "Behold the fowls of the air, they gather not into barns, yet your Heav- enly Father feedeth them;" and a Dominic hen of the barnyard could not cluck for her brood, yet e would hear Christ saying as of old, "How often would have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gath- ered her chickens under her wings;" and through the redolent hedges we would hear Christ saying, "I am the rose of Sharon;" we could not dip the seasoning from the salt cellar without thinking of the divine sug- gestion, "Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt have lost its savor, it is fit for noth ing but to be cast out aud trodden under foot of men." Let us wake up from our stupidity and take the whole world as a parable. Then if with gun and pack of bounds we start off before dawn and see the morning coming down off the hills to meet us, we would cry out with the evangelist, "The day spring from on high hath visited us," or caught in a snow storm, while struggling home, eye- brows and beard and apparel all covered with the whirling flakes, we would cry out with David, "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow." In a picture gallery of Europe, there is on the ceiling an ex- quisite fresco, but people having to look straight up, it wearied and dizzied them, and bent their necks almost beyond endur- ance, so a great looking-glas- s was pnt near the floor and now visitors only need to look easily down into this mirror and they see the fresco at their feet. And so much of all the heaven of COD'S TRUTn IS REFLECTED. In this world as in a mirror, and the things that are above are copied by things all around us. What right have we to throw away one of God's Bibles, aye the first Bible he ever gave the race? "We talk about the Old Testament and the New Tes- tament, but the oldest testament contains the lessons of the natural world. Some peo ple like the New Testament so well they discard the Old Testament Shall wo like the New Testament and the Old Testament so well as to depreciate the oldest; namely, that which was written before Moses was put afloat on the boat of leaves which was calked with asphaltum; or reject the Gene- sis and the Revelation that were written centuries before Adam lost a rib and gained a wile JNo, no; when Uiety stoops down and writes on the ground let us read it I would have no less appreciation of the Bible on paper that comes out of the paper mill, but i would urge appreciation of the Bible in the grass, the Bible in the sand hill, the Bible in the geranium, the Bible in the asphodel, the Bible in the dust-- Some one. asked an ancient king whether he had seen the eclipse of the sun. "No," said he, "I have so much to do on eartht I have no time to look at heaven." And if our faculties were all awake in the study of God, we would not have time to go much further than the first grass blade. I have no fear that natural religion will ever contradict what we call revealed religion. I have no sympathy with the followers of Aristotle, who after the telescope was in- vented, would not look through it, lest it contradict some of the theories of their great master. I shall be glad to put against one lid of the Bible the microscope, and against the other lid of the Bible the telescope. But when Christ stooped down and wrote on the ground, what did he write? The Pharisees did not stop to examine. The cowards, whipped of their own consciences, fled pell mell. Nothing will flay a man like an aroused conscience. Dr. Stevens, in his "History of Methodism," says that when Rev. Benjamin Abbott of olden times was preaching, he exclaimed: For aught I know there may be a murderer in this house," and a man rose in the assemblage aud started for the door and bawled aloud, CONFESSING TO A MURDER be had committed 15 years before. And no wonder these Pharisees, reminded of their sins, took their heels. But what did Christ write on thegroundT The Bible docs not state. Yet, as Christ never wrote anything except that once, you cannot blame us for wanting to know what he really did write. But I am certain he wrote nothing trivial, or nothing unimportant. And will you allow me to say that I think 1 know nhathewroteon tho ground? I judge from the circumstances. He might have written other things, but kneeling there In the temple, surrounded by a pack of hypocrites, who were a constabulary, and having in (jrcscuue persecuted woman, wno evi- dently was very penitent for her sins, I am sure he rote two words, both of them graphic and tremendous and reverberating. And the one word was Hypocrisy and the other word was Forcivcness. From the way these Pharisees aud scribes vacated the premises and got out Into the fresh air, as Christ, with just one iron- ical sentence, unmasked them, I know they were first-clas- s hypocrites. It was then as it is now. The more faults and inconsistencies people have of their own, the more severe and censorious are thev about the faults of others. Hero they are 10 stout men arresting and arraigning one weak woman. Magnificent business to be engaged in. They wanted the fun of seeing her faint away under a heavy judicial sentence from Christ, and then after she had been taken outside the city and fastened at the foot of a precipice, the Scribes and Pharisees wanted the satisfaction of each comine and dropping a big stone on her head, for that was the stylo of capital punishment that they asked for. Some people have taken the responsibility of saying that Christ never laugucu. ism . mine as ne saw those men drop everything, chagrined, mortified, exposed. and go ont quicker than they came in. he must nave taugncu. At any rate, it makes me laugh to read it. All of these libcitincs, dramatizing indignation against impurity. Ulind bats lecturing on optics. A flock of crows on their way up from a carcass, denouncing carrion. Yes, I think that one word written on tho ground that day by the finger of Christ was TIIE WORD HTPOCBISY. But I am sure there was another word in that dust. From her entire manner I am sure that arraigned woman was repentant. She made no apology, and Christ in no wise belittled her sin. But her supplicatory behavior and her tears moved him, and when he stooped don n to write on the ground, he wrote that mighty, that im- perial word Forgiveness. When on Sinai God wrote the law, he wrote it with finger of liaht-nin-g on tables of stone, each word cut as by a chisel into the hard granite surface. Butwhen he writes the oflense of this woman he writes it in dust so that it can be easily rubbed out, and when she repents of it, oh, be was a merci- ful Christ! I was reading of a legend that is told in the far Fast about him. He was walk- ing through tho streets of a city and he saw a crowd arounda dead dog. And one man said: "What a loathsome object is that dog!" "Yet,'' said another, "'his can aro mauled and bleed- ing." "Yes," said another, "even his hide would not be of any use to to the tanner." "Yes," said another, "the odor of his carcass is dreadful." Then Christ, standing there, said; "Butpearls cannot equal tbe whiteness of his teeth." Then the people, moved by tbe idea that anyone could find any- thing pleasant concerning a dead dog, said "Why, this mnst be Jesus of Nazareth." Re proved and convicted they went away. Surely this lecend of Christ is good enough to be true. Kindness in all His words and wajs and habits. Forciveness. Word of 11 letters, and some nr them thrones, andsomeof them palm branches. Better have Christ write close to our names that one word, though He write it in dust, than to have our names cut into monumental granite with the letters that the storms of a thousand cannot obliterate. Bishop Babington Sears book of only three leaves. The first leaf was black, tbe second leaf red, the third leaf white. The black leaf snggested sin; the red leaf atonement: the white leaf purification. That is tbe whole story. God will abundantly pardon. MODEJHf FOLLIES. I must not forget to say that as Christ, stopping down, with His linger wrote on tbe ground, it is evident that His sympathies are with this penitent woman, and that he has no sympathy with her hypocritical pursuers. Just opposite to that is the world's habit. Why didn't these unclean Pharisees I ring one of their own number to Christ for excoriation and capital punishment. Ito, no; they overlook that in a man which they damnate in a woman. And so the world has had for offending women scourges and objurgation, and for just ome offense she becomes an outcast, while lor men whose lives have been sodomic for 20 years the woild swings open its doors of brilliant wel- come, and they may sit in Legislatures and Senates and parliaments or on thrones. Un- like the Christ of my text, the world writes a man's misdemeanor in dust, but chisels a woman's olTcnse with great capitals upon in- effaceable marble. For foreign lords and princes, whose names cannot even be mentioned in respectable circles abroad because they are walking lazarettos of abomination, our Ameri- can princesses of fortune wait, and at the first beck sail out with them into the blackness of darkness forever. And in what are called higher circles of society there is now not only tho imitation of foreign dress and foreign dress and foreign manners, bnt an imitation of foreign dissoluteness. I like an Englishman and I like an American, but the sickest creature on earth is an American playing an Englishman. So- ciety needs to be reconstructed on this subject. Treat them alike, masculine crime and femin- ine crime. If you cut the one in granite, cut tnem Doth in granite. If you write tne one iu dust, write the other in dust. No, no, says tho world, let woman go down and man go up. AVljat is that 1 hear plashing into the East river at midnight, and then there is a'gnrgle as of strangulation, and all is still. Never mind. It is only a woman too discouraged to live. Let the mills of the cruel world grind right on. THE GREATEST LIBRARY. Bnt while I speak of Christ of tho text, His stooping down writing in the dust, do not think I underrate the literature of the dust. It is the most solemn and tremendous of all literature. It is the greatest of all libraries. When Lay-ar- d exhumed Nineveh he was only opening the door of its mighty dust. The excavations of Pompeii have only been the unclasping of the lids of a volume of a nation's dust When Ad miral Farragnt and his triends, a f e w years ago, visited that resurrected city, the house of Bal-b- o, who had been one of its chief citizens in its prosperous davs, was opened and a table was spread in that house which 1,210 years has been buried by volcanic eruption, and Farragut and his friends walked over the exquisite mosaics and under the beautiful fresco, and it almost seemed like being enter- tained by those who IS centuries ago had turned to dust Oh. this iniffhtv literature at the dust Where are the remains of Sennacherib and Attila and Epaminondas and Tamerlane and Trojan and Philip or Maccdon and Julius Caesar? Dustl Where are tho heroes who fought on both sides at Chscronea, at Hastings, at Marathon, at Cressy, of the 110,000 men wno fought at Agincourt of theffiO.OUO men who faced death at Jena, of the 400,000 whose armor glittered in the sun at Wagram, of tho 1,000,000 men under Darius at Arbella, of the 2,611,000 men under Xerxes at Thermopylae? Dust! Where aro the guests who danced the floors of the Alliambra, or the Persian palaces of Ahasnerus? Dust Where aro tho musicians who played and the orators who spoke, and the sculptors who chiseled, and the architects who built in all tho centuries except our own? Dust! The createst library of the world, that which has the widest shelves and the longest aisles and tho most multitudinous volumes and the vastest wealth, is the underground library. It is the royal library, the continental library, the hemispheric library, the planetary library, the library of the dust And all these library cases will be opened, add all these scrolls un- rolled and all these volumes unclasped and as easily as in your library or mine we take up a book, blow the dust off of it and turn over its pages, so easily will the Lord of the Resurrec- tion pick up out of this library of dust every VOLUME OF HUMAN LIFE and open it and read it and display it. And the volume will be rebound, to be set in the royal library of the King's palace, or in the prison library of the Ob, this mighty literature of the dustl It is not so won- derful after all that Christ chose, instead of an nkstand the impressionable sand on the floor of an ancient temple, and. Instead of a hard pen, put forth his forefinger with the same kind of nerve, and muscle, and bone, and flesh, as that which makes up our own forefinger, and wrote the awful doom of hypocrisy and full and complete forgiveness for repentant sin- ners, even the worst And now I can believe that which I read,how that a mother kept burning a candle in the window every night for ten years,and one nignt very late a poor waif of tho street entered. Tho aged woman said to her. "Sit down by the fire," and the stranger said. "Why do you keep that light window?" The aged woman said: "That is to light my wayward daughter when she returns. Since she went away ten years ago my nair nag lurneawnitc a oiks blame me lor worrying about her, but you see I am her mother, and sometimes, half a dozen times a nignt, . open me uoor and iook out into the darkness and cry 'Lizzie! Lizzie!' But I must not tell you any more about my trouble, for I guess, from tho way you cry, you have trouble enough ot your own. AVhy, how cold and sick you seem! Oh, myl can it be? Yes. you are Lizzie, ray own lost child. Thank God that you are home againl" And what a time of reioieincr there was in thnt. -- . .. .. . . . nouse mat nigm: And jurist down, and in the ashes of acain stooned that hearth, now lighted up not more by tho great blazing logs than by the joy of a reunited household, wrote the same liberating words that he had written more than 1,800 years ago in tho dust of the Jerusalem temple. Forgiveness! A word broad cnouzh and high enough to let pass through it all the armies of heaven, a million abreast, on white horses, nostril to nostril, flank to flank. TWO EAILE0AD WRECKS. Two Men Killed and a Qnnntity of Property Destroyed. ISrECIAL TO TIIE DISPATCII.l Dennison, February 17. A misplaced switch caused quite a wreck in the Pan- handle yards here last night, in which one man, who was unknown, was killed and another probably fatally inj ured. The yard enaine was shitting two carloads of mules and some empty gondolas when they ran through the switch into some other cars, telescoping the gondolas and one car of mules. The stranger was on the front of the gondola and was killed instantly. From papers on his person he is supposed to be from Justis, O. The man injured was an employe named Parks. There is some hope of his recovery. A bad wreck occurred five miles east of here this morning on the Panhandle, caused bv a broken wheel under a freight car, tumbling seven or eight cars over the bank. ACCUSED OF ASSAULT. AWiIIIamsportMnnArretednttlio Instnnco of n Dressmaker. rSPECtll. TXXEGKAJI TO THE DISFTCII.l WlLLlAMSPORT, February 17. S. Q. Mingle, a prominent merchant of this city, was arrested yesterday on a charge of as- sault and battery preferred by Mrs. A. G. Kichl, a dressmaker. The woman went to the residence of Mr. Mingle, and alter a stormy interview she alleges that he made an attempt to take from her possession a certain criminating letter. During the scuffle the woman was thrown down and her clothing torn, and her hand satchel was wrenched from her grasp and searched. The defendant was taken before an alder- man, where he furnished bail in the sum of S300 for his appearance at court. Mr. Min- gle declares that it is an attempt to black- mail him. The woman is somewhat noto- rious for her escapades. Dyspepsia Is one of the most prevalent of diseases. Few persons have perfect digestion. One of Ayer's Pills; taken after dinner, or a dose at night before retiring, never fails to give relief in the worst cases, and wonderfully assists the process of nutrition. As a family medicine, Ayer's Pills aro nnequaled. James Quinn, 90 Middle st., Hartford, Conn., testifies: "I have used Ayer's Pills for the past thirty years and con- sider them an invaluable family medi- cine. I know of no better remedy for liver troubles, and have always found them a prompt cure for dyspepsia." Lucius Alexander, of Marblehead, Mass., was long a severe sufferer from Dyspepsia, complicated with enlarge- ment of the Liver, most of the time being unable to retain any food in his stomach. Three boxes of Ayer's Pills cured him. Frederic C. Greener, of East Dedham, Mass., for several months troubled with Indigestion, was cured before he used half a box of these Pills. Ayer's Pills, PKErAEED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Sold by all Druggists and Dealers la If edicioe. TBIPLB MURDER AND SUICIDE. A Horso Breeder K11I His Wife, Two Daughters and Himself. Tecumseh, Mich., February 17. A shocking tragedy occurred in this village last night, by which a whole family has been wiped out of existence. Frank; L. Silvers, a well-know- n horse breeder, shot his wife and-tw- daughters, Edith and Ada, aged 11 and 9 respectively, and then ended his awful act by shooting himself. Silvers bought the revolver with which the crime was committed, yesterday. The bodies were found this morning by neigh- bors who, noticing that the curtains were down, and failing to arouse anyone, forced open a door. In the parlor lay the body of Mrs. Silvers fully dressed. The bodies of the children were found in bed upstairs, and in the same room, on the floor, lay Silvers weltering in blood and still breathing. Every one of the victims had been shot throneh the and with the exception of Silvers himself, death probably was instantaneous. He is still alive, but unconscious, and cannot recover. There is no known canse for the deed. Silvers was apparently in prosperous circumstances and his relations with his iamily were pleasant. EECEITES APPOINTED For the International and Great Northern Railway Company, St. Louis, February 17. A dispatch from Tyler, Tex., says: Keccntly Jay Gould filed suit in the District Court of Smith county against the International and Great Northern Railway for $496,990, and at the opening of the present session of the conrt on last Monday the International and Great Northern Company came in and at- tempted to confess a judgment for the amount, but the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company intervened with a suit against the International and Great North- ern for $11,000, and asks for a receiver. The matter was argued in the District Court on Saturday, and Colonel T. K. Bon- ner and Hon. Webb Findlay were appoint- ed receivers of the International and Great Northern Railway.

JSrECIAL TELEGBAH TO THE DISPXTCII.1Bbookiys-- , February 17. Dr. Talmage

preached this morning in the "BrooklynTabernacle on the subject: "The Literatureof the Dust," After explaining appropriatepassages of Scripture concerning Christ, hegave out the hymn:

Oh, couldl epeautbe matchless worth,Oh, could 1 sound the clones forth

Which In my Savior shine.Text: John viii, 6: "Jesus stooped downand wrote on the ground.

A Mohammedan mosque stands nowwhere once stood Herod's temple, the sceneof my text Solomon's temple had stoodthere, but Nebuchadnezzar thundered itdown. Zorobabcl's temple had stood there,but that had been prostrated. Now we takeour places in a temple that Herod built be-

cause he was iond of great architecture andhe wanted the preceding temples to seeminsignificant. Put eight or ten moderncathedrals together and they would notequal that structure. It covered 19 acres.There were marble pillars supporting roofsof cedar, and silver tables on which, stoodgolden cups, and there were carvings ex-

quisite and inscriptions resplendent, glit-tering balustrades and ornamented gate-ways. The bulling of this temple kept10,000 workmen bdl. 4G years.

In that stupendous pile of pomp and mag-nificence sat Christ, aud a listening throngstood abont Him, when a wild disturbancetook place. A group of men are pullingand pushing a woman who had committedthe worst crime against society. Whenthey have brought her in front of Christ,they ask that he sentence her to death bystoning. They are a critical, merciless, dis-ingenuous crowd. They want to get Christinto controversy and public reprehension.If He say, "Let her die," they will chargeHim with cruelty. If He lets her go, theywill charge Him with being in complicitywith wickedness. "Whichever way He does,they will howl at Him. Then occurs a scenewhich has not been sufficiently regarded.

- He leaves the lounge or bench on which Hewas sitting and goes down on one knee, orboth knees, and with the forefinger of Hisright hand He begins

TO WRITE IX THE DUSTof the floor, word after word. But theywere not be diverted or hindered. Thevkept on demanding that he settle this caseof transgression until he looked up and toldthem that they might themselves begin thewoman's assassination, if the complainantwho had never done anything wrong him-tc- lf

would open the fire. "Go ahead, butbe sure that the man who flings the firstmissile is immaculate." Then he resumedwriting with his finger in the dust of theiloor, word after word. Instead of lookingover his shoulder to see what he had writ-ten the scoundrels skulked away. Finally,the whole place is clear of pursuers, an-tagonists and plaintiffs, and when Christhas finished this strange chirography inthe dust, he looks up and finds the womanall alone. The prisoner is the only one ofthe court room left, the judges, the police.the prosecuting attorneys having clearedout. Christ is victor, and he says to thewoman: "Where are the prosecutors in thiscase? Are they all gone? Then I dis-charge you; go and sin no more."

I have always wondered what Christ wroteon the ground. . For do you realize that itis the only time that he ever wrote at all? Iknow that Busebius savs that Christ oncewrote a letter to Abgarns, the king ofEdessa, but there is no good evidence ofsuch a correspondence. The wisest beingthe world ever saw, and the one who hadmore to say than any one who ever lived,never writing a book or a chapter, or a paceor a paragraph, or a word on parchment.Nothing but this literature of the dust, andone sweep of a brush or one breath of awind obliterated that forever. Among allthe rolls of the volumes of the first libraryfounded at Thebes there was

NOT ONE SCROLL OF CHRIST.Among the 700.000 books of the Alexan-drian library, which by the infamous decreeof Caliph Omar were used as fuel to heatthe 4,000 baths of the city, not one sentencehad Christ penned. Among all the infin-itude of volumes now standing in the libraries o jcu.nuurgn, me ritisn museum, orBerlin or Vienna, or the learned reposito-ries of all nations, not one word written di-rectly by the finger of Christ. All that heever wrote he wrote in dust uncertain,shifting, vanishing dust.

My text says he stooped down and wroteon the ground. Standing straight up a manmight write on the ground with a staff", butif with his fingers he would write in thedust, he must bend clear over. Aye, hemust get at least on one knee or he cannotwrite on the ground. Be not surprised thathe stooped down. His whole life was astooping down. Stooping down from castleto barn. Stooping down from celestialhomage to mobocratic jeer. From residenceabove the stars to where a star had to fall tndesignate his landing place. From heaven'sfront door to the world's back gate. Fromwriting in round and silvered letters or con-stellation and galaxy on the blue scroll ofheaven, to writing on the ground in thedust, which the feet of the crowd had left inHerod's temple. If in January you haveever stepped out cf a prince's "conservatorythat had Mexican cactus and magnolias infull bloom, into the outside air tendegrees below zero, you may get someidea of Christ's change of atmospherefrom celestial to terrestrial. How manyheavens there are I know not, butthere are at least three, for Paulwas"caught up into the third heaven."Christ came down from highest .heaven tothe second heaven, and down from secondheaven to first heaven, down swifter thanmeteors ever fell, down amidst stellar splen-dors that himself eclipsed, down throughclonds, through atmospheres, through ap-palling space, down to where there wis nolower depth. From being waited on at thebanquet of the skies to the broiling of fishfor his own breakfast on the banks of thelake. From emblazoned chariots of eternityto the saddle of a mule's back. The homagecherubic, seraphic, archangelic, to the pav-ing of G24 cents of tax to Cesar. From

THE DEATHLESS COTJ2JTRT

to a tomb built to hide human dissolution.The uplifted wave of Galilee was high, buthe had to come down before, with his feet,he could touch it, and the whirlwind thatrose above the billow was higher yet, but hehad to come down before, with his lip, tescoma kiss it into quiet, .uetniehein a stoo-in- g

down. Nazareth a stooping down. Deathbetween two burglars a stooping down. Yes,it was in consonance with humiliations thathad gone before, and with self abnegationthat came after, when on that memorableday in Herod's temple he stooped down andwrote on the ground.

"Whether the words he was writing werein Greek or Latin or Hebrew, I cannot say,for he knew all those languages. But he isstill stooping, and with his finger writingon the ground; in the winter in letters ofcrystal, in the spring in letters of flowers;in summer in golden letters of harvest, inautumn in letters of fire on fallen leaves.How it would sweeten up and enrich andemblazon this world could we see Christ'sctligraphy all over it. This world was notflung out into space thousands of Years agoand then left to look oat for itself. It is

stiil under the divine care. Christ neverfor a half second takes His hand off of it, orit would soon be a shipwreckdd world, anabandoned world, a dead world. "Letthere be light," was said at the beginning.And Christ stands under the wintry skiesand says, Let there be snowflakes to enrichthe earth; and under the clouds of springand says, Come, ye blossoms and makeredolent the orchards; and in Septemberdips the branches into the vat of beautifulcolors and swings them in the hazy air. Nowhim of mine is this. "Without Him wasnot anything made tht was made." Christwriting on the ground. If we could seeHis hand in all the passing seasons bow it

"WOtTLD ILLUMINE THE WORLD.

All verdure and foliage would be allegoric, and again we would hear Him say asof old, "Consider the lilies of the field, howthey grow;" and we would not hear thewhistle of a quail or the cawing of a ravenor the roundelay ol a brown thresher, with-out saying, "Behold the fowls of the air,they gather not into barns, yet your Heav-enly Father feedeth them;" and a Dominichen of the barnyard could not cluck for herbrood, yet e would hear Christ saying asof old, "How often would have gatheredthy children together, even as a hen gath-ered her chickens under her wings;" andthrough the redolent hedges we would hearChrist saying, "I am the rose of Sharon;"we could not dip the seasoning from the saltcellar without thinking of the divine sug-gestion, "Ye are the salt of the earth, but ifthe salt have lost its savor, it is fit for nothing but to be cast out aud trodden underfoot of men."

Let us wake up from our stupidity andtake the whole world as a parable. Then ifwith gun and pack of bounds we start offbefore dawn and see the morning comingdown off the hills to meet us, we would cryout with the evangelist, "The day springfrom on high hath visited us," or caught ina snow storm, while struggling home, eye-brows and beard and apparel all coveredwith the whirling flakes, we would cry outwith David, "Wash me and I shall bewhiter than snow." In a picture galleryof Europe, there is on the ceiling an ex-quisite fresco, but people having to lookstraight up, it wearied and dizzied them,and bent their necks almost beyond endur-ance, so a great looking-glas- s was pnt nearthe floor and now visitors only need tolook easily down into this mirror and theysee the fresco at their feet. And so much ofall the heaven of

COD'S TRUTn IS REFLECTED.

In this world as in a mirror, and thethings that are above are copied by thingsall around us. What right have we tothrow away one of God's Bibles, aye thefirst Bible he ever gave the race? "We talkabout the Old Testament and the New Tes-tament, but the oldest testament containsthe lessons of the natural world. Some people like the New Testament so well theydiscard the Old Testament Shall wo likethe New Testament and the Old Testamentso well as to depreciate the oldest; namely,that which was written before Moses wasput afloat on the boat of leaves which wascalked with asphaltum; or reject the Gene-sis and the Revelation that were writtencenturies before Adam lost a rib and gaineda wile JNo, no; when Uiety stoops downand writes on the ground let us read it Iwould have no less appreciation of the Bibleon paper that comes out of the paper mill,but i would urge appreciation of the Biblein the grass, the Bible in the sand hill,the Bible in the geranium, the Biblein the asphodel, the Bible in the dust--Some one. asked an ancient kingwhether he had seen the eclipse of the sun."No," said he, "I have so much to do oneartht I have no time to look at heaven."And if our faculties were all awake in thestudy of God, we would not have time to gomuch further than the first grass blade. Ihave no fear that natural religion will evercontradict what we call revealed religion.I have no sympathy with the followers ofAristotle, who after the telescope was in-

vented, would not look through it, lest itcontradict some of the theories of their greatmaster. I shall be glad to put against onelid of the Bible the microscope, and againstthe other lid of the Bible the telescope.

But when Christ stooped down and wroteon the ground, what did he write? ThePharisees did not stop to examine. Thecowards, whipped of their own consciences,fled pell mell. Nothing will flay a manlike an aroused conscience. Dr. Stevens, inhis "History ofMethodism," says that whenRev. Benjamin Abbott of olden times waspreaching, he exclaimed: For aught Iknow there may be a murderer in thishouse," and a man rose in the assemblageaud started for the door and bawled aloud,

CONFESSING TO A MURDERbe had committed 15 years before. And nowonder these Pharisees, reminded of their sins,took their heels. But what did Christ write onthegroundT The Bible docs not state. Yet, asChrist never wrote anything except that once,you cannot blame us for wanting to know whathe really did write. But I am certain he wrotenothing trivial, or nothing unimportant. Andwill you allow me to say that I think 1 knownhathewroteon tho ground? I judge fromthe circumstances. He might have writtenother things, but kneeling there In the temple,surrounded by a pack of hypocrites, who werea constabulary, and having in

(jrcscuue persecuted woman, wno evi-dently was very penitent for her sins, I am surehe rote two words, both of them graphic andtremendous and reverberating. And the oneword was Hypocrisy and the other word wasForcivcness. From the way these Phariseesaud scribes vacated the premises and got outInto the fresh air, as Christ, with just one iron-ical sentence, unmasked them, I know theywere first-clas- s hypocrites.

It was then as it is now. The more faults andinconsistencies people have of their own, themore severe and censorious are thev about thefaults of others. Hero they are 10 stout menarresting and arraigning one weak woman.Magnificent business to be engaged in. Theywanted the fun of seeing her faint away undera heavy judicial sentence from Christ, and thenafter she had been taken outside the city andfastened at the foot of a precipice, the Scribesand Pharisees wanted the satisfaction of eachcomine and dropping a big stone on her head,for that was the stylo of capital punishmentthat they asked for. Some people have takenthe responsibility of saying that Christ neverlaugucu. ism . mine as ne saw those mendrop everything, chagrined, mortified, exposed.and go ont quicker than they came in. he mustnave taugncu. At any rate, it makes me laughto read it. All of these libcitincs, dramatizingindignation against impurity. Ulind batslecturing on optics. A flock of crows on theirway up from a carcass, denouncing carrion.Yes, I think that one word written on thoground that day by the finger of Christ was

TIIE WORD HTPOCBISY.But I am sure there was another word in that

dust. From her entire manner I am sure thatarraigned woman was repentant. She made noapology, and Christ in no wise belittled her sin.But her supplicatory behavior and her tearsmoved him, and when he stooped don n to writeon the ground, he wrote that mighty, that im-

perial word Forgiveness. When on Sinai Godwrote the law, he wrote it with finger of liaht-nin-g

on tables of stone, each word cut as by achisel into the hard granite surface. Butwhenhe writes the oflense of this woman he writesit in dust so that it can be easily rubbed out,and when she repents of it, oh, be was a merci-ful Christ! I was reading of a legend that istold in the far Fast about him. He was walk-ing through tho streets of a city and he saw acrowd arounda dead dog. And one man said:"What a loathsome object is that dog!" "Yet,''said another, "'his can aro mauled and bleed-ing." "Yes," said another, "even hishide would not be of any use toto the tanner." "Yes," said another, "theodor of his carcass is dreadful." Then Christ,standing there, said; "Butpearls cannot equaltbe whiteness of his teeth." Then the people,moved by tbe idea that anyone could find any-thing pleasant concerning a dead dog, said"Why, this mnst be Jesus of Nazareth." Reproved and convicted they went away. Surelythis lecend of Christ is good enough to be true.Kindness in all His words and wajs and habits.Forciveness. Word of 11 letters, and some nrthem thrones, andsomeof them palm branches.Better have Christ write close to our namesthat one word, though He write it in dust, thanto have our names cut into monumental granitewith the letters that the storms of a thousand

cannot obliterate. Bishop BabingtonSears book of only three leaves. The first leafwas black, tbe second leaf red, the third leafwhite. The black leaf snggested sin; the redleaf atonement: the white leaf purification.That is tbe whole story. God will abundantlypardon.

MODEJHf FOLLIES.I must not forget to say that as Christ,

stopping down, with His linger wrote on tbeground, it is evident that His sympathies arewith this penitent woman, and that he has nosympathy with her hypocritical pursuers. Justopposite to that is the world's habit. Whydidn't these unclean Pharisees I ring one oftheir own number to Christ for excoriation andcapital punishment. Ito, no; they overlook

that in a man which they damnate in a woman.And so the world has had for offending womenscourges and objurgation, and for just omeoffense she becomes an outcast, while lor menwhose lives have been sodomic for 20 years thewoild swings open its doors of brilliant wel-come, and they may sit in Legislatures andSenates and parliaments or on thrones. Un-like the Christ of my text, the world writes aman's misdemeanor in dust, but chisels awoman's olTcnse with great capitals upon in-

effaceable marble. For foreign lords andprinces, whose names cannot even be mentionedin respectable circles abroad because they arewalking lazarettos of abomination, our Ameri-can princesses of fortune wait, and at the firstbeck sail out with them into the blackness ofdarkness forever. And in what are calledhigher circles of society there is now not onlytho imitation of foreign dress and foreigndress and foreign manners, bnt animitation of foreign dissoluteness.I like an Englishman and I likean American, but the sickest creature on earthis an American playing an Englishman. So-

ciety needs to be reconstructed on this subject.Treat them alike, masculine crime and femin-ine crime. If you cut the one in granite, cuttnem Doth in granite. If you write tne one iudust, write the other in dust. No, no, says thoworld, let woman go down and man go up.AVljat is that 1 hear plashing into the Eastriver at midnight, and then there is a'gnrgle asof strangulation, and all is still. Never mind.It is only a woman too discouraged to live.Let the mills of the cruel world grind right on.

THE GREATEST LIBRARY.Bnt while I speak of Christ of tho text, His

stooping down writing in the dust, do not thinkI underrate the literature of the dust. It is themost solemn and tremendous of all literature.It is the greatest of all libraries. When Lay-ar- d

exhumed Nineveh he was only opening thedoor of its mighty dust. The excavations ofPompeii have only been the unclasping of thelids of a volume of a nation's dust When Admiral Farragnt and his triends, a fe w years ago,visited that resurrected city, the house of Bal-b- o,

who had been one of its chief citizens in itsprosperous davs, was opened and a table wasspread in that house which 1,210 yearshas been buried by volcanic eruption, andFarragut and his friends walked over theexquisite mosaics and under the beautifulfresco, and it almost seemed like being enter-tained by those who IS centuries ago had turnedto dust Oh. this iniffhtv literature at the dustWhere are the remains of Sennacherib andAttila and Epaminondas and Tamerlane andTrojan and Philip or Maccdon and JuliusCaesar? Dustl Where are tho heroes whofought on both sides at Chscronea, at Hastings,at Marathon, at Cressy, of the 110,000 men wnofought at Agincourt of theffiO.OUO men whofaced death at Jena, of the 400,000 whose armorglittered in the sun at Wagram, of tho 1,000,000men under Darius at Arbella, of the 2,611,000men under Xerxes at Thermopylae? Dust!

Where aro the guests who danced the floorsof the Alliambra, or the Persian palaces ofAhasnerus?

The createst library of the world, thatwhich has the widest shelves and the longestaisles and tho most multitudinous volumes andthe vastest wealth, is the underground library.It is the royal library, the continental library,the hemispheric library, the planetary library,the library of the dust And all these librarycases will be opened, add all these scrolls un-rolled and all these volumes unclasped and aseasily as in your library or mine we take up abook, blow the dust off of it and turn over itspages, so easily will the Lord of the Resurrec-tion pick up out of this library of dust every

Andthe volume will be rebound, to be set in theroyal library of the King's palace, or in theprison library of the Ob, thismighty literature of the dustl It is not so won-derful after all that Christ chose, instead of annkstand the impressionable sand on the floorof an ancient temple, and. Instead of a hardpen, put forth his forefinger with the samekind of nerve, and muscle, and bone, and flesh,as that which makes up our own forefinger,and wrote the awful doom of hypocrisy andfull and complete forgiveness for repentant sin-

ners, even the worstAnd now I can believe that which I read,how

that a mother kept burning a candle in thewindow every night for ten years,and one nigntvery late a poor waif of tho street entered. Thoaged woman said to her. "Sit down by the fire,"and the stranger said. "Why do you keep thatlight window?" The aged woman said:"That is to light my wayward daughter whenshe returns.

TWO EAILE0AD WRECKS.

Two Men Killed and a Qnnntity of PropertyDestroyed.

ISrECIAL TO TIIE DISPATCII.l

Dennison, February 17. A misplacedswitch caused quite a wreck in the Pan-handle yards here last night, in which oneman, who was unknown, was killed andanother probably fatally inj ured. The yardenaine was shitting two carloads of mulesand some empty gondolas when they ranthrough the switch into some other cars,telescoping the gondolas and one car ofmules. The stranger was on the front ofthe gondola and was killed instantly. Frompapers on his person he is supposed to befrom Justis, O. The man injured was anemploye named Parks. There is somehope of his recovery.

A bad wreck occurred five miles east ofhere this morning on the Panhandle, causedbv a broken wheel under a freight car,tumbling seven or eight cars over the bank.

rSPECtll. TXXEGKAJI TO THE DISFTCII.lWlLLlAMSPORT, February 17. S. Q.

Mingle, a prominent merchant of this city,was arrested yesterday on a charge of as-

sault and battery preferred by Mrs. A. G.Kichl, a dressmaker. The woman went tothe residence of Mr. Mingle, and alter astormy interview she alleges that he madean attempt to take from her possession acertain criminating letter. During thescuffle the woman was thrown down andher clothing torn, and her hand satchel waswrenched from her grasp and searched.

The defendant was taken before an alder-man, where he furnished bail in the sum ofS300 for his appearance at court. Mr. Min-gle declares that it is an attempt to black-mail him. The woman is somewhat noto-rious for her escapades.

DyspepsiaIs one of the most prevalent of diseases.Few persons have perfect digestion.One of Ayer's Pills; taken after dinner,or a dose at night before retiring, neverfails to give relief in the worst cases,and wonderfully assists the process ofnutrition. As a family medicine, Ayer'sPills aro nnequaled.

James Quinn, 90 Middle st., Hartford,Conn., testifies: "I have used Ayer'sPills for the past thirty years and con-sider them an invaluable family medi-cine. I know of no better remedy forliver troubles, and have always foundthem a prompt cure for dyspepsia."

Lucius Alexander, of Marblehead,Mass., was long a severe sufferer fromDyspepsia, complicated with enlarge-ment of the Liver, most of the timebeing unable to retain any food in hisstomach. Three boxes of Ayer's Pillscured him.

Frederic C. Greener, of East Dedham,Mass., for several months troubled withIndigestion, was cured before he usedhalf a box of these Pills.
