Oct, 1!0.--Thelllllter of bright colored leaves which every wind blown Iron llio trees In the avenue nrntind the Tabernacle reminded tln tliouHiind who fltrrrd Its floors Ibis morning Unit winter la approaching. Dr. Talmngc, with liln Bnual tact, turiinl tin1 Impression tone count In his sermon, wlilrh was on tho text, Jeremiah vlll, 7, "Tim Hlork In the heaven knowrlh her appointed tlini'H, nml tho turtle, ami theciuiic, nml tho swallow observe tlit time uf their coming; hut my people know not tho Judgment of tlml.ortl." When (!(nl would wt fast n beautiful thought, ho plants 'It In 11 tree. When lie would put It alloat lie faxlilom It Into a Anil. When ho would have It glide thn nlr he molilft It Into a hlrd. My luxt speaks of four hlrdH of beautiful liiMlne.l the Urk, of hiic.Ii strong affection that It Ih allowed familiarly to come, In Holland mid Germany, nml hiillil It next over the door way: thn sweet dlsposltloned turtledove, mltiKllug In color white and black mid brown nud ashen ami chestnut ; tho crane, with voice like the clang of a trumpet; the KWnllow, swift nn a dart shot nut of the bow of heaven, fallhiK, mounting, skimming, sailing four birds started by the prophet twenty-live centuries ago, jet flying on through thn ages, with rousing trnth under glossy wing and In the clutch of rtout claw, I suppnsu It may have been fhl very season of the year autumn and tho prophet out of doors, thinking of the Impenitence of the H'ophi of hln day, hears great cry overhead. TIIK HtOl'IIKTS OIISKIIVKII N.VTUIIK. Now you know It li no easy thing for one with ordinary delicacy of eyesight to look Into tho deep blue of thu noonday heaven, but thu prophet look up, and there, are flocks of storks and turtledove) mnI crimen and swallows drawn out la long linen for night southward. Ah In their habit, the crane had arranged theuiHelveN IbIo t wo linen, makltiK an angle a wedge putting tho nlr with wild velocity the oM crane, with commanding call, bidding them onward, while tho towns, unit the eJtlm, and tho continents slid under them. THt.prophet, a I unit t blinded from looking Into the dazzling heavens, stoops down and begin to think how much superior the bird are In siijmc Ity about thclrsafety than men about their, and he put hi hand uKn tho pen and begins to write, "Thn stork In the heaven knnweth her ap pointed time, and t hu t urt le, and t no crane, and the swallow observe the time of their comings but my tK-oplo know not the Judg ment of the Urd." If you were In the field today, In the damp of tree at the corner of the Held you would nee a convention of bird, noisy M the American congress tho last night before adjournment, or a tho Kngllsh parliament when noma unfortunate mom her proposes more economy In tho queen's hnmehntd a convention of bird nil talk ing nt once, moving nnd palng resolutions on t ho NUbject of migration; Rome propos Ibic to go tomorrow, omu moving that tbey go today, ome moving that t hoy go to llnull, some to Florida, ho mo to the tableland of Mexico, but nil unanimous la the fact that they must go soon, for they have marching order from tho Lord, written on the first white sheet of tho frot and In the pictorial of tho changing leaves.

Farewell, bright plumngel Until spring weather, away I Fly on, great baiul of heavenly musicians! Strew the continents with music, and whether from northern field, or Carolinian swamp, or Draxlliau groves men see your wing or hear your voice, may they bethink them selves of the solemn word of tho text, "The stork In the heaven knoweth her ap pointed times, und the turtle, nml the erase, and tho swallow observe tho tlmo of tbelr coming; but my people know not the judgment of the I.ord." MAKINO MUSIC AS TIIKV FLY. I propose, so far a God may help me, this morning, carrying out thu idea of the text, to show that tho bird of the air huve Biore sagacity than men. And I begin by particularising and saying that they min gle music with their work. Tho most seri ous undertaking of a bird's life Is this an nual travel from the UuiUon to the Amn ion, from the Thames to the Nile. Natu ralists toll us that they arrive theru thin and weary und plumage milled, and yet they go Blnglpg all the way; tho ground, the lower lino of the music; tho sky, the upper line of the music; themselves, the note scattered up nud down between. 1 suppose their song gives elasticity to their wing and help on with the journey, dwindling a thousand mile into four hun dred. Would to God that we wero as wise aaihoy in mingling Christian song with our everyduy workl I believe there is such a tblng ns taking thu pitch of Christian de votion In thu morning and keeping it all the day. I think we might take some of the dullest, heaviest, most disagreeable work of our life and set It to tho tune of "Antloch" or "Mount Pisguli." It Is i good sign when you hear a work man whistle. It I a better sign when you hear lilm hum a roundelay. It Is n still better sign when you hear him sing the words of Isaac Watts or Charles Wesley. A violin chortled and strung, If something accidentally mike it, makes music, and 1 aupposo then Is such a thing ns having our hearts so attuned by divine grace that even the rough collisions of life will make b heavenly vibration. I do not believe that the power of Christian song has yet been fully tried. I liellevc that If you could roll the "Old Hundred" doxoloy through Wall street It would put an end to tiny financial disturbance! I bclie"e that the discords, and the sorrows, and the si ns of tbe world lire to be swept out by heaven born halleluiahs. Some one asked Haydn, the celebrated musician, why hu always composed such cheerful music. "Why," hu said, "I can't do otherwise. When I think of God my mail Is so full of joy that the notes leap and dance from my pen." I wish we might all exult melodiously before the !ord. With God for our Father and Christ for ur Saviour, and heaven for our home, and !"vels for future companions, nud eternity for allfetlme. we should strlkeall the notes of Joy.

Nowadays ono hears mid rendu ho much about tho develop ment of thn modern steamship that Hint pliitBo of I ho (ittt'sHoti which concerns tho pockctliook is to 11 certain extent lost sight of. Most peoplo of course aro iiwuni that they can got ncross tho Atlntitlc pretty comfortably for about n hundred dol lars; poilmjw 11 littlo moro, perhaps 11 lit Ho loss. Hut at that point, unless the) aro in thu lmliit of frequently crosjiug tlm "herring pond," their knowledge ceases. Tho rates of passago charged by thu dllTcrent steamship companies from Now York to Etiropo vary greatly, according to thu hcason of tlm year. During thu summer months they nro fixed nt ns high n llguro as possible, whlln in winter tliuy fall correspondingly. Tho statement may sound paradoxi cal, but it is nevertheless trim Hint steamship rates wero never so high and yet never so low as Hioy aro in this pres ent year of grace.

A man was once talking to Hriiuol, tho famous engineer, alsmt the length of tho railroad from London to Hrlstol. The en gineer said: "It Is not very great. We shall have after awhile a steamer running from Kngland to New York." They laughed lilm to scorn, hut we have gone so far now that we have ceased to laugh at any thing ns Impossible for human achieve ment. Then, I ask, Is anything Impoisllile for the l.ordf 1 do not believe that God exhausted all his grace In Paul and Lati mer and I'Mward 1'aysou. 1 bellevu there are higher points of Christian attainment to be reached In the future ages of the Christian world. You tell mo that Paul went, up to the tiptop of the Alpsnf Chrlstaln attainment. Then I tell you that the stork and erauo have found alsive the Alps plenty of room for free Hying. We go out and we con ipier our temptations by tho grace of God and He down. On the morrow those tempta tions rally themselves, and attack, us, and by the grace of God wu defeat them again; but staying all thu time In tlioold encamp ment we have thu same old battle to light over. Why not whip out our temptations, and then forward march, making one raid through the enemy's country, stopping not until we break ranks aftertlie last vic tory f Do, my brethren, let us ha vo some novelty of combnt nt any rate by changing, by go ing on, by making advancement, trading off our stale prayers alsait sins we ought to have quit long ago, going on toward t higher state of Christian character, ant. roil ting out fins that we have never thought of yet.

If we, as Individuals, made rapid advance ment In the Christian life, these stereo typed prayers we have la-en making for ten or Hftcen years would Ihi as Inappropriate to us ns thu shoes, and the hats, and the coats we wore ten'or fifteen J ears ago.

Again, I lemark that the birds of the nlr nro wiser than we, Ik-ciuisu they know when to start. If you should go nut now anil shout, "Stop, storks and cranes; don't lie In n hurry!" they would say: "No, we cannot stop: last night we heard the roar ing In the woods bidding us away, nud tho shrill (Into of the north wind has sounded tho retreat. Wo must go. We must go." So-they gather themselves Into companies, mid turning not aside from storm or moun tain top or shock of musketry, over land and sea, straight as an arrow to thu mark, they go. And If you come out this morn ing with n sack of corn and throw It In the Held und try to get them to stop, thoy are so far up they would liardly seo It. They nro on their way south. You could not stop them. Oh, that we wero as wise nlwut the best time to start for God and heaven! We sayt "Walt until It Is a littlo later In the season of mercy. Wait until some of these green leave of liopu are all dried up and have Iteen scattered. Walt until next year." After awhile we start, and It I too late, and wu perish In the way when God's wrath is kindled but a little. There are, you know, exceptional cases where birds have started too late, and In the morning you huve found them dead 011 the snow. And there are those who have per ished half way ls-tween the world and Christ. They waited until the last sick ness, when tho mind was gone, or they were on the express train going at forty miles an hour, and they came to the bridge nml tho "draw was up" and they went down.

After awhile Mozart came and began to play, nud he hail a, blank piece of paper be fore him, and the king familiarly looked over his shoulder and said: "What are you playing? I see no music before you." And Mozart put his hand on his brow, as much as to say, "I am Improvising," It was very well lor lilm, but oil, my friends, we cannot extemporize heaven! If we do not geX prepared In this world, we will never take part In thu orchestral harmo nics of thu saved. Oh, that we were ns wlsu as tho crape and tho stork, Hying away, flying away from tho tempest! Some of you have felt thu pinching frost of sin. You feel It today. You are not happy.

A reader residing at Waco, Tex., writes as fellows: "I witnessed n transmutation iu San Saba county, this state, in tho spring of 1H.VJ. In a little dirty, stagnant pool I saw a quantity of horsehairs, some of which were wriggling at a great rate. I got oh my horse and examined them. A minute snake's head was visible at the upper or root end of each hair, nnd I could even see what appeared to be the puisa not such as to mnko necessary any great diiTcrcuccs. Generally speaking, tho rate in tho cuflo of steamships plying to English ports runs from $30 to $10. Iu n few cases $15 is asked, but that is thu limit. Thu French and German Hues, howovor, ask considerably moru, and doubtless offer better accommodations. Their ratu is from $00 to 03. The steerago faru is $20, with a small additional clmrgu when thu traveler's objective point is n Swedish, Norwegian or Danish port. Until about 1875 tho cabin rates of most of tho lines wero pretty much alike, varying from $70 to tJlOO, according to thu berth. Then thu Ciiuurd mid White Star forged ahead of their rivals, fur nished iMitter accommodations and charged moro for them. Tho results aro now evident on evury hand. Tho sec ond cabin rates at that timo wero $40, sometimes $45, nud thu steerage to or from Dritish ports $28. So long as tho stream of immigration to tho United States lasted everything was lovely. Thu steamship companies bad all they could do to handle tho tremendous flood of tious of the arteries of the body. For travel which sped westward, ana ttiey some length below the 'head' thehulrup- ' could not spare timo to cut rates. But thu peared to be greatly enlarged; only atioiit half the body (hair) was Instinct, with life, while the wholu lower part was nearly or quite motionless, The upper half was In constant, never ceasing motion, 1 saw this with my own eyes and know It to be true.

So keen did the rivalry become that in 1885 passengers wero being convoyed from Liverpool to Now York for ten dollars. When 0110 1 remembers that out of this sum the soiling agent was allowed a commission , of two dollars, ono is at a loss to under- J stand how tho business could bo carried 1 on. However, such a statu of nllaiis could not long endure, and tho ratu was gradually Increased to twenty dollars, its present figure. Tho influence of this long lasting dis turbance, in steerage fares was felt, though not to a very great oxtent, in tho second cabin and resulted iu a rcductiou in several cases of from iivo to ten dol lars iu intermediate fares. Tho greatest factor in tho unsottling of steerago rates is tho Scandinavian trndo. Properly tho business belongs to tho di rect lines from Swedish and Norwegian ports, but tho Liverpool companies every spring mnko most determined efforts to tecuru a good share of it. Tho result is that tho month of April almost invaria bly ushers in a war of rates that con tinues with moro or less bitterness for weeks or months. J, M.
