That is where Prince Jesus livedHJ nineteen centuries ago. He was theH ; King's Son. It was the old homesteadH of eternity ; and all its castles were as-
H old as God. Not a frost had ever chil-lH
-
ed the air. Not a tear had ever rolledHj dawn the cheeK of one of its inha-
biHi-
txusta. There had never been a head-H
-
ache or a sideache , or a heartache-.H
.
There had not been a funeral in theH memory of the oldest inhabitant. ThereK liad never in ail the land been wovenH a. black veil , for there had never beenR anything to mourn over. The passageHj of cnillions of yars had not wrinkledK -or crippled or bedimmed any of iti-Hj -citizens. All the people there were in-
H a. state of eternal adolescence. WhatH -floral and pomonic richness ! GardensH -of perpetual blcom and orchards in un-
H-
; ending fruitage. Had some spirit fromH ! another world entered and asked , WhatK is sin ? What is bereavement ? Whatw is sorrow ? What is death ? the brigh-tH
-
est oE the intelligences would have fai-lH
-

The Prince of whom I speak had hon-B
-
<jts, emoluments , acclamations , such as-
M no ether prince , celestial or terrestrial ,
m ever enjoyed. As he passed the street ,| h.e inhabitants took , off from theirB brows garlands of white lilies andM threw them ir the way. He never en-
m-
texed any of the temples without all theB j worshipers rising up and bowing in-
K| obeisance. In all the processions of the1 high days he was the one who evoked0the loudest welcome. Sometimes on1 foot , walking in loving talk with1 the humblest of the land , but at1 • other times he took chariot , andjl .among the twenty thousand that the
Mu Psalmist spoke of , his was the swift-fi
-
| - est and most flaming ; or , as when St-
.i.
John described him , he took white1 palfrey with what prance of foot , and
Mm oxch of neck , and roll of mane , an-oHI gleam of eye is only dimly suggested
Jff in the Apocalypse. He was not likeP other princes , waiting for the Father
HI io Ke and then take the throne. Whsr1 years ago an artist in Germany madei a picture for the Royal Gallery repr-
eHI-
senting the Emperor William on theHi throne , and the Crown Prince as ha-vHi
-
lag one foot on the step of the throneH | the Emperor William ordered the pic-
HIture changed , and said : "Let the prin-cHI "keep his foot off the throne till I leave
IS iL-"HI Already enthroned was the Heavenl }
H | Prince side by side with the FatherHI That a circle of dominion ! What mu-iHi
-
fitades of admirers ! What unendingHjj round of glories ! All the tower.HJ coiroed the prince's praises. Of all theHj : inhabitants , from the centre of the cityH QQ ov'Cr the hiMs ani clear down to theH ? lieach against which the ocean of im-
H-
] mensity rolls its billows , the princI j ias the acknowledged favorite. NcH I -wonder my test says that "he wasHn rich. " Set ail the diamonds of theH | earth in one sceptre , build all the pa-lH
-
iices of the earth in one Alhambra ,
H gaUier all the pearls of the sea in oneHdiadem , put all the values of the earth
in one coin , the aggregate could notexpress his affluence. Yes , St. Paul
I •was right. Solomon had in gold sixIrandrcd and eighty million pounds , anS-
in silver one" billion twenty-nine mi-llioa
-three hundred and seventy-seven
pounds sterling. But a greater thanH Solomon is here. Not the millionaire ,I tat the owner of all things. To d-eH
-
scribe his celestial surroundings , theI Bible uses all colors , gathering themI in rainbow over the throne and settingthe.. . as agate in the temple window-
.B.
and hoisting twelve of them into a
Hwall , from striped jasper at the base
I to transparent amethyst in the ca-pI

But ono day there was a big disastei-in a department of God'a universe. Arace fallen ! A world in ruins ! Ourplanet the scene of catastrophe ! Aglobe swinging out into darkness , withmountains , and seas , and islands , anawful centrifugal of sin seeming tooverpower the beautiful centiipetal ofrighteousness , and from it a groanreached heaven. Such a sound hadnever been heard there. Plenty ofsweet sounds , but never an outcry ofdistress or an echo of agony. At thatone groan the Prince rose from all theblissful circumjacence , and started foij
the outer gate and descended into thrjnight of this world. Out of what abright harbor into what a rough sea !
"Stay with us , " cried angel after angel ;
and potentate after potentate. "No. 'jsaid the Prince , "I cannot stay ; I mustbe off for that wreck of a world. I mus !
stop that groan. I must hush that dis-
tress.¬
. I must fathom that abyss. I mus ,
redeem those nations. Farewellthrones , and tcmrJrc. b. r.ts cherubicserapnic , archungelic : 1 will comtback again , carrying on my shoulder aransomed world. Till this is done I(
choose earthly scoff to heavenly ac-
elamation-;
, and a cattle pen to a king'spalace , frigid zone of earth to atmos-phere
-!
of celestial radiance. I have no!
time to lose , for hark ye to the groanthat grows mightier while I wait ! Fare-well
¬
! Farewell ! 'Ye know the graceof our Lord Jesus Christ , that thoughhe was rich , yet for your sakes he be-
came¬
' "poor.Was there ever a contrast -so over-
powering¬
as that between the noondayof Christ's celestial departure and themidnight of his earthly arrival ? Sureenough , the angels were out that nightin the sky , and an especial meteor act-ed
¬
as escort , but all that was from oth-er
¬
worlds , and not from this world.The earth made no demonstration of-
welcome. . If one of the great princesof this world steps out at a depot ,
cheers resound , and the bands play ,
and the flags wave. But for the ar-
rival¬
of this missionary Prince of theskies not a torch flared , not a trumpetblew , not a plume fluttered. All themusic and the pomp were overhead.Our world bpened for.him nothing bet-ter
¬
than a barn-door. The Rajah oiCashmere seat to Queen Victoria abedstead of carved gold and a canopythat cost seven hundred and fifty thou-sand
¬
dollars , but the world had for thePrince of Heaven and Earth only a lit-
ter¬
of straw. The crown jewels in theTower of London amount to fifteen mil-lion
¬
dollars , out this member of eter-nal
¬
Royalty had nowhere to lay hishead. To know how poor he was , askthe camel drivers , ask the shepherds ,
ask Mary , ask the three wise men of
the East , who afterward came to Beth ¬
lehem. To know how poor he was ex-
amine¬
all the records of real estate inall that Oriental country , and see whatvineyard or what field he owned. Notone. Of what mortgage was he themortgagee ? Of what tenement was hethe landlord ? Of what lease was hethe lessee ? Wio ever paid him rent ?
Not owning the boat on which hesailed , or the beast on which he rode.or the pillow on which he slept. Piehad so little estate that in order to payhis tax he had to perform a miracle ,
.putting the amount of the assessmentin a fish's mouth and having it hauledashore. And after his death the worldrushed in to take an inventory of hisgoods , and the entire aggregate war,the garments he had worn , sleeping inthem by night and traveling in themby day , bearing on them the dust ofthe highway and the saturation of thesea. St. Paul m my text hit the markv/hen he said of the missionary Prince ,
"For your sakas he became poor."
The world could have treated himbetter if it had chosen. It had all themeans for mar.iug his earthly conditioncomfortable. Only a few years beforewhen Pompey , the general , arrived in-
Brindisi he was greeted with archesand a costly column which celebratedthe twelve million people whom he hadkilled or conquered , and he was al-
lowed¬
to wear his triumphal robe in thesenate. The world had applause forimperial butchers , but buffeting forthe Prince of I ace. Plenty of goldenchalices for the favored to drink outof , but our Prince must put his lipsto the bucket of the well by the road-
side¬
after he had begged for a drink.Poor ? Born in another man's barn ,
and eating at another man's table , andcruising the lake in another man'sfishing-smack , and buried in anotherman's tomb. Four inspired authorswrote Ma biogiaphy , and innumerablelives of Christ have been published ,
but he composed his autobiography in-
a most compressed way. He said , "Ihave trodden the wine-press alone. "
But the Crown Prince o' h.2 ivenlydominion has less than the r . -- . lessthan the chamois , for he was homeless.Aye , in the history of the universethere is no other instance of such com-
ing¬
down. Who can count the milesfrom the top of the Throne to the bot-
tom¬
of the Cross ? Cleopatra , giving abanquet to Antony , took a pearl wortha hundred thousand dollars and dis-
solved-
it in vinegar and swallowed it. |
But when our Prince , according to the j
Evangelist , in his last hours , took , thevinegar , in it had been dissolved allthe pearls of his heavenly royalty.Down until there was no other har-
rassment-
to suffer , poor until there wasno other pauperism to torture. Billionsof dollars spent in wars to destroy men ,
who will furnish the statistics of thevalue of that precious blood that wasshed to save us ? "Ye know the graceof our Lord Jesus Christ , that , thoughhe was rich , yet for your sakes he be-
came¬
"poor.Only those who study this text in two
places can fully realize its power , theHoly. Iand of Asia Minor and the holy
land'of heaven. I wish that some dayyou might go to the Holy Land andtake a drink out of Jacob's well , andtake a sail on Galilee , and read theSermon on the Mount while standingon Olivet , and see the wilderness whereChrist was tempted , and be some after-noon
¬
on Calvary about three o'clockthe hour at which closed the cruci-
fixion
¬
and sit under the sycamores andby the side of brooks , and think anddream and pray about the poverty ofhim who came our souls to save. Butyou may be denied that , and so here , inanother continent and in another hem-
isphere¬
, and in scenes as different aspossible , we recount as well we mayhow poor was our Heavenly Prince.But in the other holy land above wemay all study the riches that he leftbehind when he started for earthly ex-
pedition.
¬
. Come , let us bargain to meeteach other at the door of the Father'smansion , or on the bank of the riverjust where it rolls from under thethrone , or at the outside gate. Jesusgot the contrast by exchanging thatworld for this ; we v/ill get it by ex-
changing¬
this world for that. Thereand then you will understand more ofthe wonders of the grace of our LordJesus Christ , who , "though he wa3rich , yet for your sakes became poor."
Yes , grace , free grace , sovereigngrace , omnipotent grace ! Among thethousands of words in the languagethere is no more queenly word. Itmeans free and unmerited kindness.-My
.
text has no monopoly of the word.-
'One.
hundred and twenty-nine times'does the Bible eulogize grace. It is-
Ja door swung wide open to let into'the pardon of God all the millions whochoose to enter it.
John Newton sang of it when hewrote :
' 'Amazing grace , how sweet the sound ,
That saved a wretch like me. "Philip Doddridge put it into all hym-
nology-
when he wrote :
"Grace , 'tis a charming sound ,
Harmonious to the ear ;
Heaven with the echo shall resound ,
And all the earth shall hear. "
When Artaxerxes was hunting , Tire-
bazus-
, who was attending him , showedthe king a rent in his garments ; theking said : "How shall I mend it ? ""By giving it to me ," said Tirebazus.Then the king gave him the robe , butcommanded him never to wear it , as-
it would be inappropriate. But seeingthe startling and comforting fact , whileour Prince throws off the robe , He notonly allows us to wear it , but commandsus to wear it , and it will become uswell , and for the poverties of our spir-
itual¬
state we may put on the splendorsof heavenly regalement. For our sakes !
Oh , the personality of this religion !
Not an abstraction , not an arch underwhich we walk to behold elaborate ma-
sonry¬
, not an ice castle like that whichthe Empress Elizabeth of Russia , overa hundred years ago , ordered to be-
constructed. . Winter with its trowelof crystals cementing the huge blocksthat had been quarried from the frozenrivers of the North , but our Father'shouse with the wide hearth cracklinga hearty welcome. A religion ofwarmth and inspiration , and light , andcheer ; something we can take into ourhearts , and homes , and business , re-
creations¬
, and joys , and sorrows. Notan unmanageable gift , like the galleypresented to Ptolemy , which requiredfour thousand men to row , and it3draught of water was so great that itcould not come near the shore , butsomething you can run up any streamof annoyance , however shallow. En-

BONANZA FORTUNES GONE.
Inheritors of California Millions Nowan Almost l'cnni.'ois Crowd.
California has long had the reputa-tion
¬
as the home of the bonanza kingand a recently issued document , easedon the records of the San FranciscoProbate court , tells an Interesting atory-of the contests and entanglementswhich have massed about the last tes-
tament¬
of many famous millionairesand the final disposition of the vastsuras they left behind them , says Den-ver
¬
Field and Farm. The documentgives the history of fifty-three wills ,
disposing of 175000000. About 400
heirs divided the vast sum and to-daynearly half of that number are penni-less
¬
again and only a few succeeded inadding to their inheritance. The aver-age
¬
number of persons provided for ineach was ten , though in a number ofinstances , the most notable of whichwas the case of Florence Blythe , the
;entire estates passed into the hands , ofsingle heirs. The comparatively smallestate of Kato Johnson , which was ap-
praised¬
at $1,250,000 , reached moreheirs than any other , the number onthe list being twenty-five , while the? 4,000,000 of Thomas Blythe went toone child , Florence , after a celebratedtrial. The estate of Maria Colemanwas valued at $1,757,000 and it wentequally to three heirs. Charles Crock ¬
er's $22,000,000 reached six persons ,
while Mary Ann Crocker's $11,883,657went share and share alike to four ofthe six who got Charles Crocker'slarger fortune. Peter Donahue's $3 ,-708,312 went in equal parts to threeheirs. Mrs. Theresa Fair's $4,693,250went to three persons Charles L. Fair ,
Miss Virginia Fair and Mrs. CharlesOelrichs while William P. Fuller dis-
tributed¬
his $1,771,262 to seven personsof his name. Emmanuel Goldstein's$1,000,000 went to six heirs , GeorgeHearst's $S,788,137 went in equal partsto his wife and son , while Walter Ho-

$5,273,366 went in thirds to histhree chiidren Walter Hobart , MissElla Hobart and Mrs. Wenthrop Lester.Mary Hopkins' $20,694,762 went to twopersons. Robert C. Johnson's $1,910 ,-550 went to eleven persons in almostequal portions. There are a few ex-ceptions
¬
to the general course of es-
tates¬
, as in the case of Lick and Stan¬
ford. The $5,000,000 of the Lick es-
tate¬
went chiefly to one heir and to anumber of trusts of a public naturecreated before James Lick's death.Charles McLaughlin left his $2,476,000-to his widow , while Alexander Mont ¬
gomery's $2,356,845 went to three heirs.Daniel T. Murphy's $2,041,670 v/ent tosix heirs. William S. O'Brien's $9 ,-655,450 reached eight persons.

Such a Barbarian as Is Comintnly-Supposed. .
The pope's influence has failed to se-
cure¬
the release of the Italian prisonersin Abyssinia. It is said that his shrewdcouncillors disapproved an attempt solittle likely to succeed at a time whenhis holiness cannot afford to risk thepapal prestige ; but a generous pityovercame their reasoned objections. As-
if to emphasize the refusal , Menelekhas set free sixty-four officers and menof his own accord. They report thatthe Abyssinian monarch is not such abarbarian as is commonly supposed.-

It may be credited , however , that Abys-sinia

is about to undergo a change ,
with Russians and Frenchmen to directit ; and , in that case , the sooner Egyptgets command of the upper waters ofthe Nile the better for her safety. Tooccupy the Sudan would be the firstmove of the energetic negus , who felthimself strong enough to organize agrand attack upon the hereditary foe ,
