A LOOK AT TDK LOWKIt OlIIIKItS.
Altliouuh iinturo la out of joint, yet even
in ltd disruption I mn surprised to Hud tho
almost universal happiness of tho mil mill
crontlou. Uu n summer dny, when tho Mi
ami thu Knuts ii m nioit populous with llfo,
you will not licnr u sound of distress mi
less, perchance, ii heartless school Imy has
robhvd n bird's nest, or n hunter linn
broken a hlrd'M wIiik, or h posture has
been roblied of h Imuhnud theroKocs up a
blentliiK from tho Hooks.
Tho wholu earth Ih Idled with iinlmiil do
llht joy feathered nml scaled and horned
and hoofed, Tho hvu hums It; thu frojj
cronks It; tho squirrel chatters It; thoqtiall
whistles It; tho lark enrols It; tho whale
pouts It. Tho shall, tho' rhinoceros, tlio
grizzly liear, tho toad, tho wasp, tho spider,
the shellfish have their homely delights
Joy as groat to thoui im our joy Is to us.
Goat climbing tho rocks; nuncouda crawl
Idk throuKh tho juiikIo; buffalo plunKtiiK
across tlio prnlrlo; crocodile ImskliiK In
tropical sun; seal puflliiK on tho leu; ostrich
striding across tho desert aro no many
buudlcsot joy; they do not o moping or
melancholy; they aro not only half sup
plied; God says they aro tilled with good.
Tho worm squirming through the sod up
turned of plowsharv, mid the nuts racking
up and down the hillock aro hnppy by day
and happy by night. Take up a drop of
iratar under the microscope and you Hud
that within it there are millions of crea
ture that swim iu a hallelujah of glad
aess. Tho sounds In naturo that are re
pulslvo to our ears aro often ouly utterances
of Joy the growl, tho croak, tho bark, tho
howl. The good God made these creatures,
thinks of them ever, and will not let a
plowshare turn up n mole's nest, or fisher
man's hook traiuflx n worm, until, by
eternal decree, Its tlnio has como. God's
hand feeds nil these, broods, mid shep
herds all these flocks, and tends nil
these herds. Ho sweetens the clover top
for tho ox's taste, mid pours out crys
talline waters iu mossed cups of rock
for tho blud to drink out of on his way
down the crags, mid pours nectnr into tlit
cupot tho honeysuckle, to refresh thulium
nlutc bird, nnd spreads a banquet of n hun
dred Ileitis of buckwheat, and lets the
honey bee put his mouth to any cui of all
the banquet, ami tells the grasshopper to
go anywhere he likes, and gives tho Hocks
of heaven the choice of all the grain fluids.
.The sea anemone, half animal, halt flower,
clinging to the rock iu ruidoceun, with its
tentacles spread to catch Its food, has the
owner of the universe to provide for it.
We are repulsed at the hldeousuess of the
elephant, but God, for the comfort and
convenience of the monster, put forty
thousand distinct muscles in his proboscis.
GOD CABE8 FOll ALL HIS CltKATUHKS.
I go down on the barren seashore and
say, "No animal can live in this place of
desolation;" but all through the sands are
myris'is of little Insects that leap with
happy life. I go dowu by the marsh and
say, "la this damp placo and in these
loc.'tbsome pools of stagnant water there
will be the quietness of death;" but, lol I
m the turtles ou tho rotten log sunning
themselves nod hear the bogs quake wjth
multitudinous lire. When thouufledged
robins are hungry God shows the old robin
where she can get food to put into their
open mouths.
Winter is nor allowed to como until tho
ants have grauarletl their harvest and the
squirrels have filled their cellar with nuts.
God shows the hungry ichiieumon where
It may 11 ml the crocodile's eggs; nnd Iu

so lavishly clothes that they cau afford to
walk through suowstorms Iu the finest
sable and ermiue and chinchilla, and no

God gives them n now one. Ho helps the
spider In its architecture of its gossamer
bridge, and takes care of tho color of the
butterfly's wing, and tinges the cochineal,
and helps tho moth out of the chrysalis.
The animal creation also has IU army
and navy. The most Insignificant has IU
means of defense the wasp its sting, the
reptile Its tooth, the bear iu paw, the dog
its muzzle, the elephant its tusk, tho fish
its scale, the bird its swift wiug, the rein
deer its antlers, the roe its fleet foot. We
are repelled at the thought of sting and
tusk and hoof, but God'a goodness pro
YieM them for the defense of the animal's
rights.
Yea, God iu the Bible announces his care
for these orders of creation. He says that
he has heaved up fortifications for their
defensePsalm civ, 18, "The high hills
are a refuge for the wild goats; and the
rocks for the .conles." He watches the
Bird's nest Pnalm civ, 17, "As for the
stork, the fir trees are her house." He sees
that the cattle have enough grass Psalm
eir, If, "He causeth the grow to grow for
the cattle." He sees to it that the cows
and sheep aad horses have enough to drink
Psalm. eir, 10,11: "Hesendeththesprlngs
lato the1 valleys, which run among the
Mils") they give ilrlnk to every beast of the
field. Tho wild nwn quench their thirst."

If young birds were taken from the nest
for food, the despolhir's life depended on
tlin mother going free. God would not let
tho mother bird suffer Iu ono day tho lorn
of her young and her own lllxirty. And
he who regarded Iu olden Hum tho conduct
of man toward the brutes today looks
