I
yrf may not only get
his lesson through
H thc ear , hut also through the eye , so
God lakes all the truths of bin Bible ,
and draws them out in diagram on the
H natural world. Champollion , the fa-
H moun Frenchman , went down into
I Kgypt to study the hieroglyphics on
I
monuments and temples. After much
H labor he deciphered them , and an-
I noanccd to the learned world the re-
H suit of Ilia investigations. The wisH -
H dom , goodness , and power of God are
written in hieroglyphics all over the
I oarLh and ail over thc heaven. God
H grant that we may have understanding
H enough to decipher them ! There are
scriptural passages , like my text , which
H ] need to he studied in thc very pres-
Hj ence of the natural world. Habakkulc
*
H says , "Thou makest my feet like hind's
H feet ; " a passage which means nothing
I save to the man that knows that thc
H feci of the red deer , or hind , arc pe-
I culiarly constructed , so that they can
H ivalk among slippery rocks without
H falling. KnoT/ing that fact , wc undcr-
H stand that , when Habakkuk says ,
I "Thou makest my feet like hind's feet , "
H he sots forth that the Christian can
H walk amid the most dangerous and
I slippery places without falling. In
B Lamentations wo read that "The
I daughter of my people is cruel , like
the ostriches of the wilderness ; " a
H passage that has no meaning save to
B tlie man wjo knows that the ostrich
leaves its egg in the sand to bs hatch-
I ed out by the sun , and that the young
ostrich goes forth unattended by any
H maternal kindness. Knowing this , the
I passage is significant "Thc daughter
H of my people is cruel , like thc ostriches
I or the wilderness. "
I Those know but little of the meaning
I or the natural world , who have looked
I at it through thc eyes of others , and
I from book or canvas taken their ira-
.prossion. There are some faces so mo-
H • toile that photographers cannot take
H ; them ; and the face of nature haG such
I a. flush , and sparkle , and life , that no
human description can gather them.
B No one knows the pathos of a bird's
I voice unless he has sat at summer
I evening-tide at the edge of a wood , and
H listened to the cry of the whip-poor-
H There is today more glory in one
B oranch of sumach than a painter could
B put on a whole forest of maples. God
j .liath struck into the autumnal leaf a
'
m glance that none see but those who
B come face to face the mountain look-
B ing upon the man , and the man look-
B ing upon the mountain.
B l Fet several autumns I have made a
B lour to thc far west , and one autumn ,
B ! .about this time , saw that which I shall
B never forget. I. have seen the autum-
B nal ekotches of Cropsey and other skil-
B foil iencils , but that week I saw a pa-
B scant two thousand miles long. Let
B cartists stand back when God sti etches
B his canvas ! A grander spectacle was
K 3iever kindled before mortal eyes. Along
K by the rivers , and up and down the
H | sidles of the great hills , and by the
B hanks of the lakes , there was an inde-
B scribable mingling of gold , and orange ,
IB and crimson , and saffron , now sober-
Ing into drab and maroon , now flaming
B into solferino and scarlet. Here and
B there the trees looked as if just their
B tips had blossomed into fire. , _ In the
B rooming light the forests seemed as if
B hey had been transfigured , and in the
B < ; \Tening hour they looked as if the sun-
m • cot had hurst and dropped upon the
leaves. In more sequestered spots ,
-where the frosts had been hindered
in their work , we saw the first kind-
I ling of the flames of color in a lowly
sprig ; then they rushed up from branch
I to branch , until the glory of the Lord
submerged the forest. Here you would
I find a tree just making up its mind
I to change , and -there one looked as if ,
I "wounded at every pore , it stood bathed
I ju. carnage. Along the banks of Lake
I Huron there were hills over which
I 'there Geemed pouring cataracts of fire ,
I' tossed up and down , and every whither
I by the rocks. Through some of thc
I ravines we saw occasionally a foaming
I Istream , as though it were rushing to
I fput out the conflagration. If at one
I nd of the woods a commanding tree
I -would set up its crimson banner , the
I -whole forest prepared to follow. If
I God's urn of colors were not infinite ,
IB one swamp that I saw along the Mau-
I jmee would have exhausted it forever.
I It seemed as if the sea of divine glory
I liad dashed its surf to the tip top of the
f 'Alleghanies , and then it had come
[ gripping down to the lowest iear and
P -deepest cavern.
i Most persons r-reaching from this
[ text find only in it a vein of sadness.
I I find that I have two strings to this
I gospel harp a string of sadness , and a
[ string of joy infinite.
"We all do fade as a leaf. "
I First Like the foliage , we fade
[ gradually. The leaves which , -week
I DCfore last , felt the frost , have , day by
[ day , been changing in tint , and will
lor many days yet cling to the bough ,
| Trailing for the fist of the wind to
strike them. Suppose you that the
pictured leaf that you hold in your
4aud took on its color in an hour , or in
' "
! ! i i iiim < ! urn n i t ill i in - - ' -
Li . . .JP. „ - , '
a day , or in a week ? Ho. Deeper turn
and deeper tha flush , till all the veins
of Its life now seem opened and bleed
ing away. After a while , leaf after
leaf , they fall. Now these on the
outer branches , then those most hidden - , I
den , until the last-spark of the gleam- j j
ing forge shall have been quenched. | I
So gradually we pass away. Prom
day to day we hardly see the change.
But the fro3ts have touched us. The
• work of decay is going on. Now a
slight cold. Now a season of over
fatigue. Now a fever. Now a stitch in
the side. Now a neuralgic thrust. Now
a rheumatic twinge. Now a fall. Lit
tle by little. Pain by pain. Less steady
of limb. Sight not clear. Ear not so
alert. . After a while we take a Gtaff.
Then , after much resistance , we come
to spectacles. Instead of bounding in
to the vehicle , we are willing to be
helped in. At la3t the octogenarian
falls. Forty years of decaying. No
sudden change. No fierce cannonad
ing of the batteries of life ; but a fading
aw ay slowly gradually. Aa the leaf !
. As the loaf !
j Again : Like the leaf we fade ' , to
make room for others ; Next year's
forests will be as grandly foliaged as
this. There arc other generations of
oak leaves to take the place of those
which this autumn perish. Next May
the cradle of the wind will rock the
young buds. The woods will be all
a-hum with the chorus of leafy voices.
If thc trca in front of your house , like
Elijah , takes a chariot of fire , it's man
tle will fall upon Elisha. If * in the
blast of these autumnal batteries , so
many ranks fall , there arc reserve
forces to take their place to defend the
fortress of thc hills. Thc beaters of
gold leaf will have more gold leaf to
beat. The crown that drops today
from the head of the oak will bo
picked up and handed down for other
kings to wear. Let thc blasts come.
They only make room for other life.
So , when wo go , others take our
spheres. Wc do not grudge the future
generations their places. We will have
had our good time. Let them come on
and have their good time. There is no
sighing among these leaves today , be
cause other leaves are to follow them.
After a lifetime of preaching , doctor
ing , selling , sewing , or digging , let us
cheerfully give way for those who
come in to-do the preaching , doctoring ,
selling , sewing and digging. God
grant that their life may be brighter
than ours has been ! As wo get older ,
• do not let us be affronted if young men
and women crowd us a little. We will
have had our day and we must let them
have theirs. When our voices get
cracked , let us not snarl at those who
can warble. When our knees are stiff
ened , let us have patience with those
who go fleet as the deer. Because our
leaf is fading , do not let us despise the
unfrosted. Autumn must not envy the
spring. Old men must be patient with
boys. Dr. Guthrie stood up in Scot
land and said , "You need not think I
am old because my hair is white. ; I
never was so young ac I am now. " I
look back to my childhood days , and
remember when , in winter nights , in
the sitting-room , the children played ,
the blithest and the gayest of all thc |
company were father and mother. Al
though reaching fourscore years of age ,
they never got old.
Again : As with the leaves , we fade
and fall amid myriads of others. One
cannot count the number of plumes
which these frosts are plucking from
the hills. They will strew all the
ctreams they will drift
; into the cav
erns ; they will soften the wild beast's
lair , and fill the eagle's eyrie.
All the aisles of the forest will he
covered with their carpet , and the
steps of the hills glow with a wealth
of color and shape that will defy the
looms of Axminster. What urn could
hold the ashes of aJl these dead leaves ?
Who could count the hosts that burn
on this funeral pyre of the mountains ?
So we die in concert. The clock that
strikes the hour of err going will
sound the going of many thousands.
Keeping step with the feet of those
who carry us out will be the tramp of
hundreds doing the same errand. Ee-
twecn fifty and seventy people every
day lie down in Greenwood. That
place has over two hundred thousand
of the dead. I said to the man at the
gate , "Then if there are so many here ,
you must have the largest cemetery. "
He said there were two Roman Catho
lic cemeteries in the city , each of
which had more than this. We are all
dying. London and Pekin are not the
great cities of the world. The grave
is the great city. It hath mightier
population , longer streets , brighter
lights , thicker darknesses. Caesar is
there , and all his subjects. Nero is
there , and all his victims. City of
kings and paupers ! It has swallowed
up in its immigrations Thebes , and
Tyre and Babylon , and will swallow
all our cities. Yet , City of Silence.
No voice. No hoof. No " wheel. No
clash. No smiting of hammer. No
clack of flying loom. No jar. No
whisper. Great City of Silence. Of all
its million million hands , not one of
them is lifted. Of all its million mill
ion eyes , not one of them sparkles. 01
all its million million hearts , not one
pulsates. The living are-in small mi
nority.
Again : As with variety of appear
ance the leaves depart , so do we. You i
have noticed that some trees , at the j
first touch of the frost , lose all theii
beauty ; they stand withered , and un
comely , and ragged , waiting for the
northeast storm to drive them into the
mire. The sun , shining at noonday
gilds them with no beauty. Ragged
leaves ! Dead leaves ! No one stands
to study them. They are gathered in
no vase. They are hung on no wall.
So death smites many. There is nc i
beauty in their departure. One sharp
frost of sickness , or one blast off the
cold waters , and they are gone. No
tinge of hope. No prophecy of heaven.
Their spring was all abloom with
bright prospects ; their summer thick
foliaged with opportunities ; hut Octo
ber came , and their glory went. Frost
ed ! In early autumn the frosts come ,
but do not seem to damage vegetation.
They are light fro3ts. But some mom-
ing you look out of the window and
say , "There was a black frost last
night , " and you know that from thai
day everything will wither. So men
seem to get aloug without religion ,
amid the annoyances and vexations oi
life that nip them slightly here and
nip them there. But after awhile death
comes. It is a black frost , and all is
ended. * * *
Why go to the death-bed of distin
guished men , when there is hardly a
house on this street but from it a
Christian has departed ? When your
baby died there were enough -angels in
the room to have chanted a coronation.
When your father died you sat watch
ing , and after awhile felt of his wrist ,
and then put your hand under his arm
to see if there were any warmth left ,
and placed the mirror to the mouth
to see if there were any sign of breath
ing ; and when all was over , you
thought how grandly he slept a giant
resting after a battle. Oh ! there are
many Christian death-beds. The char
iots of God , come to take his children
home , are speeding everywhither.
This one halts at the gate of the alms
house ; that one at the gate of princes.
The shout of captives breaking their
chains comes on the morning air. The
heavens ring again and again with the
coronation. The twelve gates of heaven
are crowded with the ascending right
eous. I see the accumulated glories
of a thousand Christian death-beds
an autumnal forest illumined by an
autumnal sunset ! They died not in
shame , but in triumph ! A3 the leaf !
As the leaf !
Lastly : As the leaves fade and fall
.only to rise , so do we. All this golden
shower of the woods is making the
ground richer , and in the juice , and
sap , and life of the tree the leaves will
come up again. Next May the south
wind will blow the resurrection trum
pet , and they will rise. So we fall in
the dust only to rise again. "The hour
is coming when all who are in their
graves shall hear his voice and come
forth. " It would be a horrible con
sideration to think that our bodies
were always to lie in thc ground. How
ever beautiful the flowers you plant
there , we do not want to make our
everlasting residence in such a place.
* • *
Crossing the Atlantic the ship may
founder , and our bodies be eaten by the
sharks ; but God tameth leviathan , arid
we shall come again. In awful explo
sion of factory boiler our bodies may be
shattered into a hundred fragments in
the air ; but God watches the disaster ,
and we shall come again. He will drag
the deep , and ransack the tomb , and
upturn the wilderness , and torture the
mountain , but he will find us , and fetch
us out and up to judgment and to vic
tory. We shall come up with perfect
eye , with perfect hand , with perfect
foot , and with perfect body. All our
weaknesses left behind.
We fall , but we rise ; we die , but we
live again ! We moulder away , but we
come to higher unfolding ! As the leaf , 1
As thc leaf !
Lord Rosebery's First Speech.
Lord Rosebery's first speech was de
livered when the future premier was
fourteen years of age , at a dinner to
volunteers given by his grandfathsr.
He had even then his cool self-posses
sion , and the speech in acknowledg
ment of a vote of thanks to his grand
father was considered a very good ef
fort for one so young.

The Air After a Snowfall.
The air , after a heavy snowfall , or
shower , is usually very clear , because
the snow or rain in falling brings down
with it most of the dust and impuri
ties , and leaves the atmosphere exceed
ingly clear.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
The canning of horse-meat is a thriv
ing industry in Holland , whence it is
shipped to France. The meat is large
ly supplied by worn-out horses from
England.
A terrier that was only four inches
long , and therefore the smallest in the
world , died recently in London. The
little animal was the property of Sir
Archibald Madame.
The Arabs harbor a superstition that
the stork is a bird of good omen. When
one of them builds its nest on a house

A London clergyman asserts that the
overdressing of most church-goers has
been a curse to Christianity , by influ
encing those who cannot buy good

A cold snap visited Phoenix , Ariz. ,
and during the night a barber there
dreamed that he
was shivering on an
Arctic journey. He awoke , and dis
covered that somebody had stolen the
blankets from his bed.
, A wild boar , roasted whole , -was the
chief dish at a state dinner given by
the Prince of Montenegro. It was
brought in smoking hot. Inside the
boar was a turkey , and inside the
turkey a snipe , which had been shot
by the host.
In Wales there exists the "falling
tower" of Caerphilly Castle , which is
seventy-seven feet in height , and in
clines no less than eleven feet out of
the perpendicular. In proportion this
is much greater than the tower of
Pisa , which is ISO feet , and leans fif
teen feet.
Slow steps , whether long or short ,
suggest a gentle or reflective state of
mind , as the case may be.
Where a revengeful purpose is hid
den under a feigned smile the step
will be slinking and noiseless.
AN INDIAN'S ENGLISH.

The Times" of India prints the sub
joined remarkably worded petition
from an ex-member of the Silledar
mounted police. The request which
the writer wished to convey was that
he might be furnished with a formal
certificate of his service in the police
force : "The humble petition of - ,
late Silledar mounted police , , most
humbly showeth That pity my griev
ances , by trumbling steps have dragged
mo before your honor's most greeted
chair , my days dwindling to the short
est span , blessed lord give me relief
and heaven will bless your honor's
stores. That owing to my adverse
fates , which had then frowned my
wife and my sister to retire out from
their public lives , leaving my father
and sister in bed of hopeless healths.
My father exposed out his perishable
dispositions. There is not a soul into
my family elder or younger than me ,
to attend on the sickness as above ,
which then compelled me , by nolens vo-
lcns.to tender resignation of my former
post by my own , leaving me no time
to apply your honor for certificate.
By the blessing of God and your honor ,
my father and my sister restored to
their former health , but the money so
saved for future expenses. When nec
essary for , has been exhausted on medi-
cining them. When I found quite in
volved in poverty , that we endured
severe fastings from the flummery floor
even , I came in Bombay in search of
my prey , presented by circumstances
to the commissioner of police , who
asked me for a certificate of my former
post , without which I am refused by
my bread. My humble services extend
ed over .two years under your honor's
most auspicious orders , during which
I toiled impatiently by my assiduity
and attention with a view to start with
my further advancement in life hon
estly. Under the stern cravings of
hunger , I crave your leniency will be
graciously pleased to stretch forth your
honor's august orders , only to relieve
our lives from the panic clutches of
starvation. Pray let me test the gold
of my fortune in the alembic of suc
cess , but let not my ardent hopes be
refused by rejection , because your
honor's one word would supply my low
wants. Pray do not blast out my fer
vent hopes without which I am not to
be taken in any kind of service. For
which boon of j-our honor's merciful
philanthropy and equity in charity , I
shall jointly invoke heavenly choicest
blessings to dwell with your honor's
long life in years and advancing chair. "
Costly liottla of Chsimpasne.
Some years ago Mr. Gladstone had
met a possible claimant for a civil list
pension whom he believed to be in suf
ficiently poor circumstances , and had
almost decided to grant it , when he re
ceived an invitation to dinner with the
person in question. This raised some
doubt in his mind. On the one hand ,
should a civil list pensioner be able to
afford to entertain ? On the other
hand , it might only be a dinner of
herbs , and it seemed hard to deprive a
public benefactor of a pension because
he was ready to share his crust and
water. Knowing that in any case there
would be a feast of reason and a flow of
soul , Mr. Gladstone accented the invita
tion , and on the way propounded to
his companion the following text :
"No champagne , pension ; champagne ,
no pension. " There was champagne , ;
and the host lost his pension. It was
the dearest bottle of wine on record ,
for it cost the purchaser 100 a year.

' San Francisco Esntnincr.
I The laramcrgcyer , or bearded vul
ture , found throughout thc whole
mountain chains of thc Old World , act
ually shaves himself. Thc expert bar

of his particular patron more deftly
than thc monarch of thc mountain tops
prunes his own bristly beard.
j The head of the vulture is clothed

A ll.ilv.u : Museum.
From Gentlewoman
At Levallois-Perret , very near Paris ,
there is a museum formed of souvenirs
taken from Ualzac 's home , destroyed
some years ago. It is with great diffi
culty one obtains permission to visit
this museum ; but once there , an arch
aeological student finds much of inter
est. Among other treasures are su
perb carvings , which were once orna
ments above doors and window pieces.
One of these represents a man holding
his head on his right hand ; above arc
engraved in stone the words , "Plus
Despoir. " No one knows to whom the
collection belongs , nor the reason for
so much mystery.
