SAINTS
I sea them with their heavenward eyes,
Men who In Christ abide;
The long train ceases not to riSe
Through Braes unceasing tida l , ' . 4
And a grave across each pathway Iles,
But the path swerved not aside.
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.
To them each human loss Is gab;
Withdrawn or sacrificed,
Nothing but sin was all In vain,
And that, which long enticed,
Fails from each soul and leaves no stain
At thelirst mile of Christ.
The flock of God goes up and on,
. , And if, ns sin departs
Some faces front the throng are gone,
I miring some broken hearts, •
God, full of pity for his own,
Dries crony tear thi.t starts.
The flock of God is strong and swift
And It devout:A the way,

Independence Gained and Lost
"We will have an elegant time.
You must come."
" I don't think I can," said Carrie,
her eyes wandering over Julia's dain

witching Dolly Varden hat which
completed a lovely picture.
" Why not, dear? Oh, I want your"!

This last with a coaxing pout.
" Yes I do; but—"
" Never mind the buts.' I shall
expect you. Cousin Frank Warden
is coming up, and he can walk over
With you in the evening."
"I don't mind the getting home,"
replied Carrie with a laugh. . 0
" Then, good-bye. You'll come?"
"1 thinkniit..": But Carrie's voice .
was faint,- and her eyes danced.at the
thought of the — fun.
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.

I barn% anything. else to wear, and it's
pretty, and I'll do it up myself and
make it look nicely. I'll put a blue

Her father's farm adjoined Mr.
Living,ston's country seat, and Julia
and Carrie had been summer friends
for years. Julia' liked Carrie's hear

Advice to Those Who can Stay but a •Week—Wha
To Bee - and How to Sea It.
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

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

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 ;

venturesome, sent a ,number of cool

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

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.

even misre -at the great'sfiglire,which

And amid "all your sight-seeing do

THIRD QIFIRTER. 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."

V. Q. "Or ,eior the' - ailver cord be loos

ed here were the appurtenances of the, ,
lordly - mansio n-the silver cord by which; ,
the lamp was suspended from the ceirmg;!,
the golden bowl, which held the oil; the
costly-fountain machinery by 'which water
was procured. In this poetic use, the
sil,,yer cord signifies the thread of
the invisible principle of vitality: The.

receptacle o'f - the blood. TheTpitcher
