with voice like the clang of a trumpet;
the KWnllow, swift nn a dart shot nut of
the bow of heaven, fallhiK, mounting,

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

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. Coiner through thu wilderness of

OMAHA, Nov. ll. Nowadays ono hears

pliitBo of I ho (ittt'sHoti which concerns

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

fall correspondingly.
Tho statement may sound paradoxi

yet never so low as Hioy aro in this pres

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

for the l.ordf 1 do not believe that God
exhausted all his grace In Paul and Lati

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

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. 'Alow long to re pent and pray?
Two seconds! Two seconds! To do the

In a king's court, and theru were musicians
there with elaborate pieces of music.
After awhile Mozart came and began to
play, nud he hail a, blank piece of paper be

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

What are you going to do, ny friends, with

BiitiMienu Oenerutloii of Animal Life.
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. What do the philosophers say
about it?"
I can answer this query In a very short
sentence. They say that spontaneous gen
eration of life is 1111 utter impossibility.

Ultra-n'sthetlcism in dress having gone

year 1880, which saw tho climax of steer-
ago travel across tho Atlantic, witnessed
also thu commencing struggles of a bitter
competition for business. 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
