Like a chorus which no discords mar, Sober and clear and grand, Like a scroll upreaching to a star, Caught by an angel's band, Like a wind beginning from afar, And covering alt the land, They sound, they passt each man beholds The Master's risen face, Each arm some near belayed enfolds, Yet keeps Its forward place, The weak one leans, the strong upholds, But all are In the race. Up through the darkness and tho pain, Up, through the joy and light, Earth's myriad hands are raised in 'rain; To barns or invite, Life shon - afthon nothing to'detain, Death nothing to affright. - By all things fair their course le graced, By all things bitter, healed; (lathering like servants sent in haste Who, being challenged, yield, And through the garden or the waste, Guide to God's happy field.

You must come." " I don't think I can," said Carrie, her eyes wandering over Julia's dain ty fresh linen suit, and up to the be witching Dolly Varden hat which completed a lovely picture. " Why not, dear? Oh, I want your"! to ! Perhaps you don't care to come.'i. I This last with a coaxing pout. " Yes I do; but—" " Never mind the buts.' I shall expect you.

The thoroughly buttoned groom tucked a linen duster over his mis ,tress's flounces; and Julia kissed her hand as the sprightly ponies stepped off down the road. Carrie leaned her arms •on tip gate and watched the phaeton with a pleased face. Julia was a dear friend—as young ladies estimate afieotion—and it was pleas ant to see her drive- with so much. ease, and lea•ti - e agreeable thoughts of untold good timings. When the leaf . t branchrs hid her from sight, Carrkt turned, and stopping a moment to set up a plant which drooped, and to examine a bush which gave promise of speedy blossoming, returned to the house. " Oh, I want to gd !" she declared, as she threw open a closet door. " I (17j so like to have some fun on the Fourth ; and this will be splendid 7— croquet, music, <lancing, fire-works, ice-cream, without having to make it yourself—oh !" and Carrie whirled about the room at time thought. "But all the ladies will be so elegantly dressed. Julia said she should wear a white organdy trimmed with Va- lenciennes. Nor.• I nei•er wad bear not to be well dressed to;" and she darted into the closet, and came out two dresses on her arm. There's no use looking," she ex claimed, throwing them on the bed. • I know what they are like. The .barege has a great darn in front, and the musliti is horribly faded across the shoulders. I can't wear my black silk, for I should ruin it. :Oh dear!" With a great sigh she sat down on the foot of the bed, and, curling up her feet,rested her chin in the hollow of her hand. " Then my hat ! It isn't a . Dolly Vanlen, or anything else but an obi sundown" • It would be impossible to give the emphasis of contempt with which,Carrie uttered that word. "Why- should I care ?" she solilo quized. "If the year had been bet: ter, I should have had a white pique,: but poor father was so pressed, I did not ask for the money. I know it's all right; but I had counted on going all the time, and I can't unless I can have something - pretty to wear." Carrie spoke with determination; and ga've the fading sunseta perplexed, troubled look. As the quiet sky and the whispering trees presented no" solution of the question, She brought her gaze in until it rested on her lap. .She saw a neat' white apron, and un .l:-..r-that a really very pretty blue and white striped cambric. _ " I'll wear this !" ; cried Carrie. jumping up.

"I can tell you, Mr. Warden," cried Carrie, rising, "I'don't generally wash my clothes, and I, don't like such nonsense." "It's all true," he said, gently pressing her down again. ,"I love you, Carrie—have come to take you back to California with me " "I don't want to go," replied Car rie, with an averted face.

" Oh, Carrie," he replied, with a half groan, " think of me !" Carrie made no reply. " Don't you love me ?" pleaded Frank, putting his arm around her. Carrie moved a little, and still (lid not speak; but he was evidently she for an answer, and at last she said : • " Yes," with a jerk. "Then you'll marry me ?" "Nothat is—not now."

If there remains yet, anywhere, an American citizen, of either e t ex, who is doubting whether it is worth while to go to the Centennial Exhibition, let him or her forthwith give up all doubt and go. It is a very 'great, a very charming, a very none and de lightful success ; an endless agazine i of wonders, well arranged, s flieient ly well labelled, and placed in what seems to me one of the- most delight ful pleasure grounds in the orld— certainly, taking it altoget er, the pleasantest on this continen 1)0 NOT UUURY. So much has been made b numer ous letter writers of thernmense mass and variety of wonderd gather ered together in the Main Building and all the other buildings, that the grounds in which these nume r ous edi fices , stand are overlooked ; 'and the American citizen, as usual; taking his pleasure a little anxiously, and above all In a great hurry, seems to miss one of , the essential uses of the whole great show, as well as many of its pleasantest featur. He crams him self and wife and children' with the wonders of art and nature L 7stored under glass ; but he and his family seem to get really very little pleas ure out of the exhibition. It is tiipe for somebody to protest against this misuse of an opportunity which is not likely to recur ottour continent for some years; and here is such a protest. . Properly regarded, a visit to this great Centennial Exhibition should be a great and, as far as possible, an unalloyed pleasure—a period, not of haste but of leisure--and in order to make it so my advice to any one who is yet to go is to carefully put all ideas of getting instruction, of delib erately and consciously acquiring lulowledge, out othis mind before he enters the gates. There are hundred:* or rather thousands of men, each of whom ought thoroughly to study some part of the Exhibition, as a specialty, to instruct himself in his own. businegs or calling; but these special students do not need urging, they have come and are coming, and to them the Exhibition is a very pre cious opportunity to compare their , work with other men's work - or their skill. witk)thet - or n/W -- tormikthgt 4'.440-i'tre#l,lthelrt; ~~~ T~ }. w~ L__ . world's markets. To these students of the Exhibition I haiee not a word to say; thq need no advice. But when I see, about .5 o'clock in the af ,ternono, wandering out of the main gate some thousands of American men and women, all with a wearied :look, a logging . walk, a Irish to get ' home and lie down to rest, and yet all with a self-satisfied smirk, as who should say, " Behold :us 1 _We have increased our knowledge all day; we have not . idled our time away ; we' have hastened from one collection to another, and have seen all that hu man endurance will allow men and women to see in one day "—when I see this great tired crowd, I long for a voice like Mr. Daboll's steam fog horn up near the Government' build ing, so that I might bellowpa --- “, Oh, you poor , deluded, m` - „ ided and suffering fellow citizens ! Why do you make a toil of a pleasure Why do you run all day long up and down the great aisle of the Main Building vainly imagining that you are get ting wiser ; when you might be spend ing part of a delightful day in tne grounds,with pretty music and bright flowers and leisure, and a good din ner eaten in the open air and not -in a cellar or 'a cupboard, as you have been accustomed to dine! Oh, you ignorant and abused fellow citizens ! The exhibition you came to see is not all inside of those great glass houses, but mainly outside of them, in the pleasure grounds—the music, the seats in shady ravines, the rides in the threetfoot gauge ears, the leis urely dinner on the balcony at the American restaurant, or on the roof 1 at the Vienna, or out under a tent at Lauber's. That useful information '' you need you will inevitably suck .in by the way; indeed, you cannot help it." Probably the greatest crowd at the ',Exhibition will be dtyriii - g - September and ,October. A 'Writ number of people have put ott going until now ; when it is getting lot, while Provi derace, which is always kind to the venturesome, sent a ,number of cool days in AUgust to those who did not delay. To those who are now going if they have leisure and means to stay a month or even :two weeks, I have nothing, to say. Let them skip this letter and turn to.. Mr. Tilden's last . fim•ico. But to the great numbei 2f people in moderate circumstances, wiiiNtzarce leisure and ;few - dollars, who come far thrce daYs or a Week, I here address a few wordsfte,:tg e ; which, if they will take it, will make them happier, I am sure. WHAT TO OMIT. - First.—Make up your mind that there is a great deal in the Exhibi tion that you cannot see in a week, and that there is a great deal in it that you do not need or want to see. The mass of what is contained these big glass houses 'is of interest mainly to specialists; to them it is of surpassing interest and impor tance ; to you, the mere average per son, with a week of leisure, it is of no value whatever. Skip it. boldly. For instance, you will find little to see in the building devoted to leath er. A' i walk through it of half an hour is 'enough for you. Mr. Jack son S. Shultz prObably thinks it is the best part of the show ; but you need not think so. The immense and important show of American and En glish and German cloths and! other, manufactures you di) not carebout.' Skip that. Your wife will rather see Starr Sr, Marcus' collection of dia monds and camel s than half the oth er contents of the wonderful Main Building, and, a journey by elevator to the roof will be of greater interest and valise to you and the children than two days in the tiresome pic ture gallery, - *hie!' contains the most amazing collection of bad pictures ever Made since men began to daub \with oil on canvass. Therefore be gin with! a determination to skip all that dons not at once attract you. That is 'the fundamental principle for you in seeing the Exhibition. Second.—Buy at once all the cata logues and look them over. Yon will see where and what to skip.' Mark down in each the few objects which you are curious to see. They are not many to the mere unprofes sional-visitor. For instance, in the art catalogue you will find a few fa mous pictures, as, several of Wash ington, and perhaps two dozen oth ers. These mark, and, if you can easily find them, look at them. The rest are of no use and no • real inter est to you. You will be disappoint ed even in Some of those' you have marked. The Turder, Tor l tinstance, is a mere daub; bUt thereiitre some Boughtons ; there is a Fri which is famous; there are two dozen pic tures, good and bad, which, you will 'really want to see. An heinr, or two hours at most, is enough for this ,whole 'collection of art. Those who spend days in it waste their time Again, in Machinery Hall, there is a very great deal which you can - safely skip. Some few things, easily found, you need to see; but two or three hours are enough • for the whole of this building. The time you save here you can well use in Agricultural Hall, which contains more objects 6f interest to an intelligent but -uprofes sional visitor than all the other houses except the Main Building. • ADVICE TO MODRATE MEN. Third.—Let us now begin at the beginnitg, for this is intended to be your moderate man's guide to the Exhibition. Try ,by. all means to lodge near the ,grounds. It is a great advantage. If you can walk in five minutes to the gates, you will gall at least one day in six over those who need an hour to go and return. If you can find anywhere--as you easily canes-lodgings and breakfast within - - rying to be inde . .... ~. __ .. walking didtance, pay a little more, a two to a round of the housed erected . more .. good; And - we:.. can . - do 1 more good deal more I should say, rather by a number of !the States for the ,c;6l.- " While. the evil - days coma not, than go further away. • I say lodging welcome of their citizens.

I found there a person dining in his shirt sleeves , which is. not a pleasant dinner Sight for ladies; and the charge in the bill for " service " was extortionate, while the cooking was not a bit better than at Lauber's or the American'. On your first; ay march directly from the gate to the railroad, pay five , cents, take your seat and ridearound, the gtounds. ,Yotuwill see all the buildings an your.voyage, and . get an idea of thc "lay of the ground." The end of yoiir five-cent journey on the !first . narrow gauge] railroad you probably ever saw, will ' set you down near the picture galle-, ry, and you may ! pat as iwell proceed' at once to undergo the great agony of seeing the art collection. Make up your mind solemnly 1 that 'what you cannot see in two hours shall re main 'unseen by, your eyes. -It is worth no more to you, if you arc to stay but a week. And N. B. When ever in the course of the day. you arc tired, do not sit down on-the first bench, but get into a car and ride about. You will rest better, and! you will be seeing a More lovely. hit of country all the time. Fourth.—Allow at least a half a day to the Government building. It contains a great , Mass . , of material which you ought to ..seei and which will interest and instruet you. Prof. Baird's collection or emodels of the food fishes'of this country ; the great and curions.collection of, instruments for catching fish ;: the army uniform from early ,days, the, oidnance, the. post office exhibit, iriclUding a ma chine for folding envelopes, the: In- Alan exhibition,. the coast ~survey, :these and many ,more; shown by our .own government, will interest and in struct you beyond most things on the grounds. The Agricultural Building deserves some hours. Look especially at the neat Japanese, part. There is noth bigmore complete - in the whole .ex , . lilbition than this; and even our own Sinithsonian Institution may learn Something from the Japanese about , the best-way to show the grain, bark,. leaves and; flowers of useful trees. Indeed,one gets a higher notion of Japanese intelligence, skill and civi lization froth their show here than we'' generally have. They are very plain ly- a civilized _people, and it is, their modesty alone which makes them adopt our high silk hats and pay Americans to teach them how to do things they perhaps had better leave un - d- te e. The Agricultural Building contains lifirf;.. of the- natural pro s" ducts of many natitru.s.'„qo climates. You will judge for y o ug o- 10 . at terests" you 'most ; but thie sh4;4 - o.d that of the States OfNansas and Col orado, which you inust-no misw,are, next to the Main . Building, the most interesting and, valuable to the easn al observer, whom I am ~'advising. Horticultural Hall you may , leave unseen. It is simply - a vast unfur nished greenhouse; it is the one fail ure on the grounds. There is a little Japanese bazaar. where you may Spend more or less money and buy more or less pretty things with it, as your taste and purse may combine. But the real curiosity there is the building. itself. It is a little gem Of architecture and. carpentry. You May study it care fully in all- its details for an hour or two, and when you are done you will wish that our own earpenters had - on- . 13- half as mus,ll taste and skill as have been put into this, exquisite lit tle house, -which,' please to observe, has not a nail in Then do not forge, to Wok at ~ the odd little gar den, which has some curiosities of its Own—as a cedar tree sixty years old growing in a 'flowerpot; a lotus growing in a funny- little tank of its own,_and4everal gardening devices, which will interest 'you if youare , fond of . flowers. Over against this Japanese buildingi is another pretty bit of, architecttire-, , the Swedish schoolhouse._ Even the interior,-with - its many devices fur .teaching the young idea how to shoot, will inter est and instruct an American, tho' as to school interiors we are as far ahead of the world as we are behind the Swedes in schOol buildings. CHEAP TRAVEL'S. You will return often to the kith' Building. Its contents.are most va ried and inexhaustibly interesting. You wander in a perpetikal maze of wonders. Nowhere in the world can you travel so far for half,a dollar. Froth the diamonds and feather flow ers of Brazil you. 'slide over to the nutmegs and quinine' of the 'Dutch; Eat ladies; from Morocco and Tunis it is:1)1t a step to Japan ; you have hardly Atilt China before a Buenos Ayrian vaquero itiv'es you' to the remarkable and c ' Ps. show' of his country. The 'ku lir& candle ,nuts Of the Sandwich Islands ire still in your mind as you drop into the Mex ican quarter and see the vast rude desk of silver• and the fine but cold marbles which shine like jewels.: The little Orange Free State shows . _ you ostriches and diatnotids ;• Australia silk wool and a pillar .of gold ; Queenslaftd, - Tasmania, . the Cape of Oval Rope, the IScyclielle Islands, Egypt, Spain and South America--• you may - see-the essentials of each and all bi a day or two, and at sunset be a fartlier travelled man than Marco Polo. And if yoU will stop. to think —e.s I ;advise •ycip to do—you ' will wonder at the marvellous store of undeveloped wealth in the world, and even misre -at the great'sfiglire,which the English-speaking race plays on our - planet, just now, when almost two-thirds of, the valuables here col lected are sent by men who read their Bible in the'same langtiage with our= selves:,- • .

For it is not what your, Rye hur riedly takes in, but what your mind grasps and appreciate4,that will real ly remain with - you_as an enjoyment. And amid "all your sight-seeing do not, I pray you, neglect to - notice the finest and• most impressive sight of all. The best part of the great show ic .ji s the ople whom you see there. These great,quiet,i9telligent,orderly, thoroughlY respectable crowds 'of your fellow-citizens whom yoit meet on the narrow guage cars: and walk ing about the grounds, and wonder ing as they wander through the vari ous buildings and eating in the ils "taurants, and—too few of them— lounging about 'among the flowers and music, these •make tip to • a thoughtful observer the - Most impres- Sive and. on•the whole the most satis factory , sight in the Eichibition.

LESSON XII Thel3ook IA Ecclesiastes (He& Kohe- Iltli), was prof:ably written by 'Sohn:non to show , that the only, good possible to man in.this world is a 1 tr'anquil and ' rever- ential enjoyment of the good gifts oflGod. It was evidently written by Lim near the close of iiis life, and may express his pen itence for the sins into Which he was led by his heathen wives. (11iings: xi). It is confessedly one of the". most ' difficult books to : comprehend in the ScriPture, but its canonicity is well established. I lt always held a-Place in the llebrew-Ctinon, and existed there in its pivene foi l = in the dayis of Clirist and ;his apelstles. There has been a dispute as to whether it be poetry or prose, but the evidence is satisfactoir that it is a philosophical or didactic poem. It is obviously thel fruit of the poetic or meditative mood: it lacks all formal or logical arrangement : it is ?composed_ in parallelis'els,,, the radical 'distinction of IlebreW poetry. ",These . gnomic utterances are primarily the emo tional relief or a meditative soul, rather than abstract ethiCal precepts, having mainly a scientific or intellectual aspect." 1 : The first eight verses of our lesson up= scribe the old age of a sensuzlist.
