The Angola of The Bible.
NO. I. OAI1RIKI,.
Gabriel is the first ancl mentioned
in tlif Scripture to whom a name is
given. Dan. viii. 16. Hut it is to he
observed that the name is not given
by Daniel ; he says "I heard a man's
voire between the banks of the Ulai,
which called and said, Gabriel make'
this man to understand the vision."
In chapter ix, ai, Gabriel is again
named and is spoken of as having up
on this occasion come upon wings :
being caused to lly swiftly." We next
hear of Gabriel by name, when in
Luke i, 191 he appears and announces
to Zacharus the tiirth of John the
Baptist, upon which occasion lie as
serts himself: "I am Gabriel that
stands in the presence of God ;" thus
designating his place as well as his
righ to speak. Six months afterward,
Grabriel was sent from God unto a
city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to
announce the conception and birth of
the Messiah, Luke i, 26.
Gabriel is not otherwhere mention
ed by name in Scripture,and nowhere is
called an Archangel, although in liter
ature frequently thus distinguished.
Considering the kind cf missions in
which he was employed, it is not im
probable that it waa Gabriel who ap
peared to Hannah as "the angel of
the Lord," and announced the birth
of Samson. Judges xiii, 3.
Seeing that Gabriel was the angel of
the Annunciation to the v irgin Moth
er, it seems entirely fitting that he
should bu the angel of the Lord who
announced the birth of the Messiah to
the shepherds at Bethlehem, and was
the leader of the heavenly host which
appeared upon that event. (Luke 11,
9,) and who watched over the infant
Jesus in his journey to and from
Kgypt, protecting Him from the perils
ot the way. ruaunow 11, 1 1. 1 nus
he would seem to be fairly entitled to
his cognomen of "The Ancel of the
Annunciation."
The Jews do not take kindly to the
angel Gabriel. No doubt, having
doubted the divinity of Jesus Christ,
the messenger who asserted that di
vinity as a revelation from God would
be counted as their enemy.
The Persians call him "the angel of
the reve ations ;" and Mohammed
pretends tnat Tw, Koran was reveal
ed to him by Gabriel, and he makes
creat account in that book of the as
sistance civen him by Gabriel, and of
the several appearances to him of that
angel.
The Poets, such as write upon
themes such as touch upothe powers
and duties of the heavenly host, have
frequent references to Gabriel, and
give to him attributes and places not
accorded to him in the .scriptures
This by a proper license of those
writers, in as much as the sacred
wrifnes are silent upon those matters,
What his place may be in the heavenly
hierarchy, whether araoii" the cheru
bim or seraphim, the Archangels,
princes or leaders, is neither revealed
or hinted at : but he stands in the
presence of God, is his chosen niessen
cer. the revealer of his secrets : and
certainly among the inhabiters of th
Earth, the angel who announces the
Mesbia!). the Saviour, should be to us
the most loved and lovable, the near
est to us, the most human in his sym
pathies, although, perhaps, not the
most distinguished and powerful in the
Angelic host. All his appearances
concern the Messiah, all his messages
are of love and peace and happiness
to the Human Race.
Milton calls him "Chief of the An
gelic Guards," and second "in military
prowess." to whom by lot was "given
charire and strict watch, that to this
happy place of Paradise, no evil thing
approach or enter in ;" and celebrates
the battle

But we cannot readily think of the
messenger of God who brought 'peace
on earth. pood will to men as a mm
tarv leader of creat prowess.
Dante, in his "Divine Comedia"
mentions Gabriel several times by
name and designation, always in con
nection with the incarnation or cog
natc matters and makes him an atten
dant unon the Virsiin Mary, chiefest
among the angelic host, her guard of
honor.
Tasso, in his "Jerusalem Delivered 1
feitrns him sent to Godtrey to urge
more vigorous prosecution of the war,
and describes his flight and approach
to the earth on that mission.
K.abrlel he call the herald of his priico

On blessed errands tu the human men,
And. sweet ly solacing the vlrl iiouh, hears
Unfit to his mercy-seat the lueeiutu ot their
prayers." Canto 1, St. XI.
And in the same connection de
scribes him as the "winged Arch
angel." The general theory or legend that
the last trump shall be sounded by
Gabriel, I have not been able to
trace. Having announced the salva
tion of man through Jesus Christ, he
might also call the dead to the resur-
rection. But that case shall have sev
eral very important circumstances
to-wit "The Lord himself shall de
scend from heaven with a shout, and
with the voice of the Archangel, and
with the trump of God." 1 Thess. iv,
16; but neither there nor in 1 Cor. xv,
Children Cry for

S a is it said in whose hands the tru m
p-'t bhall be. That Gabriel, the mes
senger of God to the Virgin, the
mother, should on that great day, be
at the side of the Messiah, the Son,
nnd be the trumpeter at whose blast
the dead should be awakened, is so
natural, that we assent to the popular
idea, and expect him to be also "the
angel of the resurrection."

BRIGHT SOENeYiOENNSYLVANIA.
We remember of coming up from
Mauch Chunk to Wilkesbarre one
morning !by railway. The acclivitv
just outside of Mauch Chunk is quite
appreciable, and the train ran slowly.
Eastward, the spruce, the hemlock
and the pine were dressed in immac
ulate beauty on the summit of the
mountain. Their arms were bending
with the wealth of winter. A thin
mist covered the mountain, the Le
high, and the town, as a veil covers
the face of a bride; and just above all
the sun was opening his burning eye
upon this Nature's sublimity. It was
a grand morning there, and then grand
auspices ot the creation of a new day
Another time we saw sublimity at
Shickshinny. The sun had just risen
from his couch of flame, and the fine
mountains of bhickshinny seemed to
shrug their great shoulders, shaking off
the shades of night, and striding forth
to meet the sun. 1 he town was a
gem 01 nre anti me :-usqueiianna a
stream of golden radiance. These

looked like a new made crown fresh
from the hands of the Almighty. He
was pouring from his radient urn his
streams of gold upon the hills and
that broad river. These morning
scenes and evening scenes are pictures
when God superintends the camera.
We are told that views from Prospect
Rock, near Wilkesbarre, are fine. We
know they are from Council Cup,

miles up the river, and at least fifteen

not go out ' of Pennsylvania to get
grand scenery, and we have a great
country full of it. Colorado abounds
in sublimity ; so does osemite Val-

ders of the sea, listen to the voice of
Niagara. We would like sometimes,
to look upon the Alps covered witn
perpetual snows and eternal sunshine ;
upon the sombre pyramids, counting
off the periods ot time along the slu
gish Nile. We think we would gather
inspiration from viewing the crumbled
archways and colonnades of Rome,
and the sculptured marble
of Greece, but our country presents
grandeur and beauty of virgin Iresh

WASHINGTON LETTER.
THE HAWAIIAN QUE3TI0N.
KKCRKTARY ORESIIAM'S REPORT.
The Prcsiikfct'e Anmial K.Ef.age.
(From our Hcgnlnr correspondent)
Washington, Nov. 13, 1893.
Secretary Gresham's official report to
the President showing that creat in
justice was done to the native Hawaiian
government by the action of the U. S.
Minister to that government under the
last administration, m practically com
pelling the Uuecn by a display ot ma
rines from the U. S. S. Huston to ab
dicate in favor of the Provisional gov
ernrnent which was formed, it is be
lieved largely if not entirely by the ad
vice and connivance of that minister,
for the purpose of carrying out the
scheme of the annexation of Hawaii,
which played such a conspicuous part
during the closing days of the Harrison
administration, has for a time relegated
the financial and tariff questions to
back seats, agd everybody is discussing
the Hawaiian matter.
rhe report concludes with the re
commendation, which was approved by
the President .and the members of the
cabinet, that the wrong should be
righted as far as lay in the power of
this government by restoring the native
government of Hawaii to the position
it occupied belore the tueen was
forced by a U. S. Minister, not by the
Provisional government, to abdicate
This was a bold and fearless step for
the President to take, but believing it
to be right he took it and issued the
necessary orders to Minister Willis,
who barring accidents arrived at Hono
lulu more than a week ago, to carry it
into effect, although he knew lull well
that it would at first be unpopular,
particularly with those who would only
look at the surlace ot the question and
regard it merely as the use of the

who know the President were not sur
prised that he should prefer being
right to being popular ; he lias been do
ing that sort of thing ever since he has
been in public life.
There are not many democratic
Senators and Representatives in Wash
ington : but some of those here who
were at first disposed to criticise the
action of the President have already
changed their minds, and it is believed
that when the next news arrives from
Hawaii they will all be disposed to ac
knowledge that the administration took
the only right and proper course. If,
as the administration believes, the pro
visional government only existed be
cause the native IIa.vaua.ns believed it
to have been created and supported by
the power of the United States, it
would at once cease to exist as soon as
Minister Willis officially announced the
contrary, as he doubtless did as soon
as he arrived at Honolulu. It the
Queen should then be unable to main
tain herself in power that will be her
own alfair, as neither she nor those
who might attempt to overthrow her
government would receive aid from
the United States. In other words,
the action of the United States 1
merely intended to allow the Hawai
ians to govern themselves in any way
they may see fit without any outside
interference, and as the hrst step to
wards that end it was necessary that
things should be restored to the same
condition in which they were when
Minister Stevens interfered to over-
throw the old government. The
- ...
question 01 inonu.i.iiy ic
public had nothing whatever to do
with it. nor was sentiment allowed to
intrude. It was only a question of
right and wrong, and the administra
tion, acting upon the information
.gathered bv Mr. Blount during his
long stay and investigation in Hawaii-
-. . . .
has only done what it believes to be
right, and what it believes the Arner
ican peop'e, regardless of politics, will
m the end endorse. 1 he powe- ot the
United States is too great to be ex
ercised to the detriment of its weaker
neighbors, and the sense of fair play is
too prevalent in the United States tor

not being justified by the results of
the experiment, which he regards as
a failure. Another great republican

do this on tho following solid grounds:
1. It is self-acting, is always in gear
and will begin operations as soon aa
admitted to the field. 2. Its elevator
has a double back-action, iraising the
tubers and earth with perfect ease and
separating them perfectly. 8. The
gearing is so ingeniously co-ored that
it cannot be worn out or clogged by
