Thoroughly appreciative of the honor conferred he expects every. bodyfithat be pm to beohseqnious. Com- ing in one day at the zeta of the palace the servants drop their headsin honor of his oflicc; but a Hebrew, named Mordecai, gases upon the passing dignitary without trending his head or taking of! his but. He wasagoodman, andwouldnot havebeeu negligent of the ordinary courtesies of life, but be felt no respect either for Haman or the nation from which he had come. But he could not. be hypocritical; and while others made oriental aalaam, getting clan down before this prime minister when he passed. Mordecai, the Hebrew, relaxed not a muscle of his neck, and kept his chin clear up. Because of that aflront Human gets a decree from Ahaaucrua, the deb tardly king, for the massacre of all the Is- raelites, and that, of course, will include Mordecai. TH! nor REVEALED. To make a long story short, through Queen Father this whole plot was revealed to her husband, Airmen». One night Ahasncrus, who was afliicted with insom- nia, in his sleepless hourscalls for his secre- tarytoreadtohimnfew paesagesofl’crsian history, and aowhilc away the night. In ‘ the book rcadthat night to the king an ac— count was given of a conspiracy, from which Mordecai, the Hebrew, had saved the king’s life, and for which kindness Mordecai had never receiver] any reward. Baman,who had been lining up a nice gal- lows to hang Mordecai on, was walking outside the door of the king’s sleeping apartment and was called in. The king told him that he had just had read to him the account of some onewho had saved his, the king’s life, and he asked what reward ought to be given to such a one. Self conceited Human, supposing that he him— self was to get the honor, and not imagin- ing for a moment that the deliverer of the king’s life was Mordecai, says: "Why, your majesty ought to make a triumph for him, and put a crown on him, and set him on a splendid horse, high stepping and full blooded, and then have one of your princes lead the horse through the stunts, crying: ‘Bow the knee, here comes a man who has aaved the king's lifel' " Then said Aha- euerua in severe tones to Haman: “i know all about your scoundrelism. Now you so out and make a triumph for Mordecai, the Hebrew, whom you hate. Put the best aaddle on the finest horse, and you. the mace, hold the stirrup while Mordecai suteon, and then lead his horse through theetrcet. Make haste!" a (orator arm a TRAGEDY.

Human, the chancellor, afoot, holding the prancing, rearing, chomping stallion. Mordecai bends his neck at last, but it is to look down at the degraded prime minister walk- ing beneath him. Home for Mordecai! Alas for Hamanl But what a pity to have the gallows recently built entirely waetodl It is titty cubics high, and built with can. And Human had erected it for Mordecai, by whose stirrups he now walks as groom. Stranger and more startling than any ro- mance, there go up the steps of the scat— folding, side by side, the hangman and Haman theexebancclior. “So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had pm pared tor Mordecai. " Although so many years have passed since cowardly Ahasuarus reigned, and the beautiful Esther answered to his whims. and Persia perished, yet from the life and deathotiiaman we may draw living let aona of warning and instruction. And, first, we come to the practical suggestion that, when the heart is wrong, things very insignificant will destroy our comfort. Who would have thought that a great prime minister, admired andapplaurled by millions of Persians, would have been so nettled and harassed by anything trivial! What more could the great dianitary have wanted than his chariots and attendants, and palaces and banquets? 1! term of circumstances can make a man contented and happy, surely Haman should have been eontcntedaud happy.

Why was it. that the Platonic philosophers oi early times, as well as Toiand, Spinoza and Bolingbroke of later days, were so madly opposed to Christianity? Certainly not be- cnuse it favored immoralities, or arrested civilization, or dwarfed the intellect. The genuine reason, whether admitted or not, was because the religion of Christ. paid no respect to their intellectual van ties.

When science began to make its brilliant discoveries there were great facts brought to light that seemed boovertbrow the truth of the Bible. The amhmologist With his crowbar. and the geologist with his bam- mcr, and the chemist with his batteries charged upon the Bible. Moees' account of the creation seemed denied by the very structure of the earth. The astronomer wheeled round his telescope until the heav- enly bodies seemed to marshal themselves against. the Bible, as the stars in their courses fought against Steam. Observa— tories and universities rejoiced at what they considered the extinction of Christi- anity. They gathered new courage at what they considered past victory, and pressed on their conquest into the kingdom of na- ture, until, alas for them! they discovered too rum-ii. God's word had only been lying in ambush that, in some unguarded mo— ment, with a sudden bound, it might. tear infidelity to pieces. It was when Joshua attacked the city of Al. He selected thirty thousand men. and concealed most of them; then with a few men he assailed the city, which poured out its numbers and strength upon Joshua’s little band. According to previous plan, they fell back in seeming defeat, but, after all the proud inhabitants of the city had been brought out of their homea, and had joined in the pursuit. of Joshua, suddenly that brave man halted in his flight, and with his spear pointing toward the city, thirty thousand men bounded from the thickets as panthere spring to their prey, and the partition were dashed to pieces, while the hosts of Joshua pressed up to the city, and with their lighted torches tossed it. into flame. Thus it was that the din coveriee of science seemed to give temporary victory against God and the Bible, and for a while the church acted as if she were on a retreat but, whenall the opposcrs of God and truth had joined in the pursuit. and were sure of the hold, Christ gave the sig- nal to his church, and, turning, back their foes in shame. Therewas found tobeuo antagonism between nature and The nnivusa and the Bible woreround to be the work of the same hand, two stroke-of the same pen, their authorship the same God. drove Again; learn the lesson that pridogou hater-eaten.

Again: this Herman's history shows us that. outward possessions and circum- stances cannot make a man happy. While yet fully vested in authority and the chic! adviser oi the Persian monarch, and erery- thing that equipage and pomp andsplcnder of residence could do were hrs, he is an ob ject lesson of wretchminess. There are to day more aching sorrows under crowns oi royalty than under the ragged caps of the honselees. Much of the world‘s amnenee and gayuty is only misery in colors. Many a woman seated in the street at her apple stand is happier than the great bankers. The mountains of worhily honor m cov- oovered thrpetunl snow. Tamerlane con noted the world, but could not an us his own fears. Ahab goes to bed, nick, because Naboth will not sell him his vineyard. Hemd is in agony because a little childis born down in Bethlehem. Great Felix trembles because a. poor minister will preach righteousness,rernperance and judg- ment to come.

Wretched— nose is more bitter when swallowed from summer! goblet than from earthen pitcher or pewter mug. If there are young people here who are looking for this position and that circumstance, thinking that worldly sums will bring peace of the soul, let them shatter the delusion. It is not what we get, it is what we are. Daniel among the iionsis happier that Nebucbadneuar on his throne. And when lifeiscloaing, brilliancy of worldly surroundings will be no solace. Death is blind, and sees no dif- ference between the king and his clown, between the Xezarene and the Athenian, between a booklet-rs but and a national library. The frivolitice of life cannot,with their giddy laugh, echoing from heart to heart, entirely drown the voice of a tro mentions conscience which says: “i am im- mortal. The stars shall die, but I am im- mortal. One wave of eternity shall drown time in its depths, but. I am immortal. The earth shall have a shroud of tiamaand the heavens ties at the glance of the Lord. but i am immortal. From all the heights and depths of my nature rings down, and rings up. and rings out the word ‘im~ mortal.‘ ” A good conscience, and “nut. once of life eternal through the Lord Jesus are the only securities. 11118 L"!
