As in some either end of the building, Instrument responds other, in the great and the one musically to the cathedral of nature wy and flower in the The to great spring flower, and star to star, harmonies of the universe. time is an evangelist winter 8 a prophet-—white denouncing woe against our sine. We are but how few of us learn the voices of the noisy and dusty street. You go to your merchandise, and your mech. anism, and to your work, and vou come back again—and often with an you pass t ugh the streets Are there no things for us to learn from these pavements over which w y there no tufts of truth growing up bet ween these cobblestones, beaten with tne food pleasure, the siow traad of old age, and the quick step of childhood? Aye, there are great harvests to be reaped; and now I trust in the sickle because the harvest is ripe. ‘Wisdom cristh without; she uttereth her voice in the streets.” In the first place the street impresses me with the fact that this life is a scene of toil and struggle. By 10 o'clock every day the city is jarring with wheels, and shuffling with feet, and humming with voices, ne covered with the breath of sinokestacks, and a rush with traffickers. Once in a while you find a man going along with folded arms and with leisurely step, as though he had noth- ing to do; but for the most part, as vou find men going down these streets, on the way to business, thers is anxiety in their faces, as though they had some errand which must be executed at the first possible moment. You are jostled by those who have bargains to make and notes to setl, Up this ladder with a hod of bricks, out of this bank with a roll of bills on this dray with a load of goods digging a cellar, or shingling a roof, or shoeing a horse, or building a wall or mending a watch, or binding a book. Industry, with her thousand arms, and thousand eyes, and thousand feet, goes on singing ber song of work! work! work! while the mills drum it, and the steam whistles fifo it. All this is not because men love toil. Someone remarked: “Every map is as lazy as he can afford to be.” But it is because necessity, with stern brow and with uplifted whip, stands over them ready whenever they relax their toil to make their shoulders sting with the lash, Can it be that, passing up and down these streets on your way to work and business, you do not learn anything of the world’s toll, and anxiety, and dre Oh! how many drooping hearts, how many eyes on tho pass? Ar burdens carried, how many losses suffered, how man tories gained, how many defeats suffered, how many exasperations what losses, what hunger, wretchedness, what pallor, what disease, what agony, what despair! Sometimes I have stopped at the corner of the street as the multitude went hither and you, and it has seemed to be a great panto mime, and as I looked upon it my heart broke. This great tide 3 human life that goes down the street is a rapid, tossed and a Wwe endured what back—beautiful in its confusion and confuse in its beauty. In the carpeted aisles of the forest in the woods from which the eternal shadow is never lifted, on shore of the sea over whose iron coast tosses the tangled foam, sprinkling the cracked cliffs with a pti of whirlwind and tempest, is ing, swarming, raving street is the best place to study man. Going down to your place of business and coming home again, I charge you look about-—see these signs of poverty, of wretchedness, of hunger, of sin, of reavement—and as you go through the streets, and come back through the streets, gather “R in the arms of your prayer all the sorrow, 1 the losses all the suffering all the bereave ments of those whom you pass and present thers in prayer before an all sympathetic God. Then in the great day of eternity there will be thousands of persons with whom you in this world never exchanged one word who will rise up and eall you Blessed: and thers will be a thousand fingers pointed at you in heaven, saying: the woman, who helped me when I was hun- y and sick, and wandering, and lost, and rt broken. That is the man, that is the woman,” and the blessing will come down upon you as Christ shall say: 1 was hungry and ve fed Ma, I was naked and ye clothed Me, 1 was sick and in prison and ye visited Me: inasmuch as ye did to these poor wails of the streets, ye did it to Me.” Again, the street impresses me with the fact that all classes and conditions of society must commingle, We gometimes culture & wicked exclusiveness, Intellect despies ig- norance. Hefluement will have nothing to do with boorishpness. Gloves hate the sun- burned hand, and the high ‘orchead despises the flat head: and the trin aedgerow will have nothing to do with the wild copsewood, and Athens hates Nazaretn, This ought not to beso, The astronomer must come down from his starry revelry and help us in our navigation. The surgaca must come away from his study of the human organism and set our broken bones. The chemist must coma away from his laboratory, where he has been studying analysis and synthesis, and help us to understand the nature of the soils. I bless God that all classes of he !

All the foroos of nat re are nst him. The floods are ready to drown him, and the earthquake wo swallow him, and the fires to consume him, and the lightnings to smite him.

Mighty were their temptations mighty was their deliverance, and mighty | shall be their triumph. Again, the street impresses me with the i {act that life is full of pretensions and sham ! What subterfuge, what double dealing, what twofacedness! Do all the people who wish i you good morning really hope for you # | happy day? Do all the people who shale hands love each other? Are all those anxious about your health who inquire con- erning it? Do all want to see you who ask you to call? Does all the world know half as much it pretends to know? in there not many a wretched stoc) of goods with n brilliant window? Passing up and down thesa straits to your business and your work, are you not impressad with the fact that much of society | is hollow. and that there are subtercages and protensions’ Oh! how many thors ars who | swagger and strut, and how few people ar natural and wall While fops sumer, and sools chuckle, and simpletons gigeis, how t people are natural and laugh : ! san and the libertine | street in beautiful apparel, while in the heart thers are volcanoes of pas gion consuming their life away I say thess things not to create in you incredulity and misanthropy, nor do 1 forget there are thousands of people a great deal better than they seem; but I do not think any man is srepared for the conflict of this }ife until he cnows this particular peril. Ehud comes pre- tending to pay his tax to King Eglon, and while he stands in front of the King, stabs him through with a dagger until the haft went in after the blade, Judas Iscariot kissed Christ i Again, the street impresses me with tho | fact that it is a great fleld for Christian charity. There are hunger and suffering, and want and wrechedness in the country; but theses evils chiefly congregate in our great cities. On every street crime prowls, and drunkenness staggers, and shame winks, and auperism thrusts out its band asking for alms. Hero want is most squalid and hunger is most lean. A Christian man, going along a stroet in New York, saw a poor lad and he stopped and said: “My boy, do you know how to read and write™ The boy made no answer The man asked the question twice and thrice “Can you read and write? and then the boy answered with a tear plashing on the back of his hand He maid in fiance: “No, sir; I can't read nor neither. God, sir, don’t want read and write.

Beyond the office, the store, | the shop, the street, there is a world populous | and tremendous. Through God's grace, may you reach that blossed piace. A great throng fills those boulevards and the streets are a-rush with the chariots of conquerors, The inhabitants go up and down, but they never weep and they never toil. A river flows through that city, with rounded and luxur- jous banks, and trees of life laden with ever- lasting fruitage bend their branches to dip the crystal. No plumed hearse rattles over that mvement, for they are never sick. With immortal health glowing in every vein they know not how to die.

Through the blood of the great of the Son of God, take up our march to heaven. ‘The Spirit and the firide say come, and whosoever will, Ist him come and take of the water of life freely.” Join this great th marching heaven. ward. All the doors of invitation are open. “And I saw twelve gates, and thero were twelve pearls.” A tool, after it has been forged, should be so hardened or tempered that it will never want to come to the fire again until it has so worn down that it requires forging. This saves the time lost in a second hardening; and it avoids the damage always done to the cuttine power by rebardening without forging. Leather chalr-soats may be revived by rubbing them with well-beaten white of an egg. Leather bindings of books may be cleansed by this method, White Roman bindings should be washed with a soft flannel saturated with soapsuds, sis Vi Mr. A.
