S——— rs” 5, - AN OLD SERMON. O man, whoe'sr thon be, Look well about and seo How, on this mortal star, All things compounded are Of the four elements, Though, to thy baffled sense, Through many forms thoy range And are so swift to change, These, in their nature sure, Alone do still endure, And thou, from euch in turn, Shalt a wise lesson learn. First thou shalt view the soll, Given to thy patient toil; Bee how the teeming earth To all good things gives birth} Half the year cold she lies, Buried in snow and ice, But when the days of spring Pack the warm sunshine bring, « Meekly she smiles again, tting all ber pain, And when we wound her flelds Harvest most rich she yields, So when God tries thy heart Keenly with ache and smart, When pain and peril stand, Threatening, at either hand, And when the ruin of grief Brings thy spent woul relief, See that in songs of praise Still thy faint voice thou raise, And that thou yield brave deeds Although thy weak heart bluads, Regard thou then the sea, Which, though so seemiag free, Yet a fixed law obeys Through all its errant ways. Hark! how the broakers roar, Beating upon the shore! The billows, mountain high, Threaten the very sky! Yet there's no angry wave, Howe'er it foam and rave, Dare in rebellion try To pass its boundary. Hear'st thou the water teach, Louder than tongue can preach, So shall thy firm-set will Govern thy passions still? Though a fierce war they wage, Yea, though they storm and rage, Not one least whit shall they Thy strong resolve dismay, Consider then the air, Which, passing everywhere, Although "tis never seen, God's greatest boon hath been So let thy charity Challenge no human eye, And, while itself doth hide, Unto none be denied, But both on good and ill Its constant grace distill, Bringing new life and cheer To thy sad fellows here. Mark how the mounting flame, Returneth whence it came, Ever doth burning rise To seek the starry skies, There's no imperious force May stay its upward course: This world holds naught so dear ] As can detain it hero! Bo seek thy goal above, Unmoved by fear or love: Thus shalt thou learn from fire Unswering to aspire From the cold breast of earth “To heaven that gave thee birch! 20: Dana Underhill, in the Century. A WONDERFUL SHOW. BY THOMAS 1. BLAKE, It was in 1842, 1 being at Lahore at the time, in the Hon. East India Com- y's service, that Lorn Dalhousie, the vernor-General of British India, visited the court of Runjeet Singh at Lahore; and, in honor of his arrival, a series of magnificent entertainments was given by the Maharajah and his nobility. Une of the most remarkable, to Euro- | at least, was that which took place on October 17, and @t which the writer Was nt : ly after the day- light gun had , the Khalea, or regular, troops of Run cet assembled on s wide plan (maidaun), just outside the city gates, under the commands of Ven. tura, Allard and the other French and Italian officers who had disciplined them, extending in long lines of infan- : and artillery (golundauze), and flanked or supported by clouds of irregu- War cavalry, Afghans, Pathasus and i 1 | | waved hig bands over it and muttered { Some w | fant was heard (drums and guitars), When the dancers had withdrawn a court official stepped forward and announced that ‘now we should sce some wonderful things (tu- mansha).” [It mast be re bered that there was no stage, with its bilities of trap doors and mechanical contri vances—nothing but the marble pave- ment of the court-yard, whilst countless lamps and torches shed their brilliant light on every corner.] Then into the open space in front of us came three na- tives, wearing only the cummerbund, or waist-cloth, and went through some ex- traordinary feats of balancing and Sleighit-af and, too numersvs tn par ticularize; then the ‘“‘mang® trick’ performed in & most accopt plished os | and the tree sprang up, blossomed an bore fruit. Next the -lest of the per- formers stood forty and produced coil of thick cord having a pi of lead attached (to the end: this he whirled ragidly around Jhis head, and then, loshog his grasp,’ the weight shot rapidiy\upward, bearing with it the line, which t until only the extreme end remained. ere be- suspended from some invisible pp and the performer, callin one o assistants, ordered him t what held it.

The elder man then called out to the invisible man to loose the cord and come down, but a voice from the sky refused to do this, and finally the man on the ground hacoming en- raged, ped a huge Afghan knife between fils teeth, climbed the suspended cord and vanished, Then apparently ensued a battle in mad alr; voices were heard in fierce dispute, and then blood- drops descended ina shower, and all was still. Just as all the spectators were gazing upward in horror stricken amaze- ment the leaden weight fell clashing on the pavement, and the two performers came from behind the audience smiling |and salaaming. Nest four bearers | carried in a wooden trestle, on which was a box about five feet in length; then Surcoobah, a Hindoo, appeared, and opening the box showed that it was { perfectly empty, and replacing the lid he cord could rds; suddenly the cry of an in- Surcoobah removed the covering, and there we plainly saw an infant, apparenrly just born. The box was closed again and the incanta. tion resumed for some minutes, and when the Hindoo ag:in opened the chest a Nautch girl in full gala dress bounded forth and began to circle round to the music of the tomtoms. Faster and faster played the music, and in still more rapid time whirled the dancing girl. At length old Surcoobah seemed to catch the infection, and, grasping the | girl, he, too, spun round in mad gyra- tions. As the pair, thus strangely as. sorted, circled round, a change seemed to take piace in the Hindoo:; the old man vanished and in h's place ap- peared a youth just bordering on manhood. Still with faster steps the dancers flew round, but now the girl seemed gradually to fade away and pre- sently the youth clasped only a skeleton in his arms; on went the mad dance, but | suddenly both youth and skeleton had vanished and old Sarcoobah, stop- ping in his mad career, salsamed to the spectators and withdrew. This Surcoobah was said to be a yogee, and possesses certain supernatural powers; that evening he performed some very strange things, He walked in the air at a distance of three feet from the surface of the ground; he took leaden bullets ana ct armlets, and when he threw them upward they floated in the air, and he sat cross-legged and smoked | his hookah fully five feet above the pave. | ment of the courtyard. He asserted that he could at any time die and then come to life at any given time, sad as many of the Sihks confirmed this statement, it was determined to test his powers, and this was what o curred A place was selected where the soil of the plain was dry, and there an underground apart. ment was excavated: when this was fin ished a guard of soldiers wasplaced overit, | and on the appointed day Lord Dalhousie and his suite, with a number of the Sikh nobility, assembled there.

May it be impresssd upon us that He spoke not His own words, but being filled with the same Spirit who had spoken turough the prophets He spoke as the Father commanded Him, The highest attainment of teacher or preacher is to have Matt. x, 20, fulfilled in them: “It is not yo that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you." 4. "And they come unto Him, bringin one sick of the misy, which was bo. four.” While these blind, self-righteous Pharisees and doctors, who might be healed if they only knew their need, are listening to His wonderful words, here is a case for the manifestation of His wonderful power-a case of realized and manifest need, A man who is a paralytic, who has lost the power of beiping himself, is brought by four friends to Jesus, which was certainly the very Lest thing they could do for him. $. “They could not come nigh, ith. they uncovered the roof, * # they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.” Luke v., 18 says they let him down through the tiling, with his couch, into the midst before Jesus, Here is zeal and deter mination sure to accomplish its end if it be at all possible to be accomplisl If those who are troubled lest they have not come to Jesus in the right way would consider the manner of this coming nnd its results, they would surely find rest «cn that poist: and if we who are teachers or preachers were ns gealous in bringing others to Jesus, would we not see very great resuliis’ 5 “When Jesus saw their faith.

New Treatment of Lung Consumption, © A new method of treating tuberculosis, or consumption of the lungs, has been roposed by M. Haller, It consists in phaling dry air hested to the tempers- ture of from 250 degrees to 275 d Fahrenheit, the theory being that at this temperature the bacille which are sup- posed to produce the disease are de- stroyed., Old experiments have shown that there is no difficulty in inhaling air at these temperatures, but it seems more than doubtful whether the effect will be in the least degree advantageous, Another and more rational novelty in the treatment is that described by Dett-. ! weiler as in use atthe Folkenstein sana | torium, | that the patients are required to live The essence of this method is permanently in the open air, to sleep there, even if the temperature fall as low ns fourteen degrees rahrenheit.
