The Beauties Of Bible Reading.
If we need higher Illustrations not
only of the power of natural objects to
adOrn language and crafty taste, but
proof that here we find the highest
conceivable beauty, we would appeal
at once to the Bible. Those most Op-
posed to its teachings, have acknOwl-
edged the beauty Of its language, and
this is mainly due to the exquisite use
Of natural objects for illustration. It
does, indeed, draw from every field,
but when the emotional nature was t.,
be appealed to, the reference was at
once to natural Objeets,an throughout
all its books, the stars and flowers, and
gems, are prominent as illustrations of
the beauties of religion, and the glO-
ries Of the church, s
'sThe wilderness and the solitary
place shall be glad for them, and the
desert shall rejoice and blossom as a
rose"
"Tbe mountains and the hills and
the mountains shall brake forth before
you in singing, and all the trees of the
field shall clap their hands. Instead
Of the thorn shall come up the fir tree,
and instead of the briar shall come up
the myrtle tree"
The power and the beauty of the
same objects appear in the SaviOr's
teachings. The fig and the olive, the
sparrow and the lily of the field, give
peculiar force and beauty to the great
truth they were used to Illustrate.
The Bible throughout is remarkable in
this respect. Its a collection of books
written by authors far removed from
each other in time, and place, and
mental culture, but throughout the
whole, nature is exalted, as a reveIa-
tiOn of God. Its beauty and sublimity
are appealed to, to arouse the emo
tions, to reach the moral and religious
nature. This element of Hunity runs
through ali the books where reference
to nature can be made. One of the
adaptations of the Bible to the nature
Of man is found in the sublime and
perfect representation OF the natural
world, by which nature is ever made
to proclaim the character and perfec-
ton Of God. No language can be
written that so perfectly sets forth the
grand and terrible in nature and its
forces as we hear when God answers
Job out of the Whirlwind. No higher
appreciation of the beautiful, and Of
God as the author of beauty, was ever
expressed, than when our Savior said
Of the lilies Of the field, 'tI say unto you
that even Solomon, in all his glory,
was not arrayed like one of these;"
and then adds: "If God so clothe the
grass Of the field"-ascribing the ele-
mentc of beauty in every leaf and
opening bud to the Creators skill and
power Professor Chadbourne.

The Chicago Evening Post claims
for some young people of '1eadfng
Chicago families" the credit of haV-
ing invented a novel and pleasant
evening entertainment. The ordina-
ry programme is as follows '"Instru-
mental music reading Of selections,
ten-minute lecture, and general con-
Versation thereon; reading of origi-
nal contributions vocal music, re-
freshments, and conversation; instru-
mental music. The young people
present are regarded, not as members
of society but as guests of the la
dy at whose house they meet; there
being no formal terms of membership,
and the invitation being at her pleas
ure. The guests appear in plain
dress. Neither church lines nor neigh
borhood boundaries are considered /;
theological bodies are eschewed; sub
iects Of literature, art, music, and re-
creation, upon which all agree, are
brought to the freside; the control
ling spirit is that of culture, of friend
ship, OF charity.

1t is easier to be a good business
man than poor one. Half the en-
ergy displayed in keeping ahead, that
is required to catch up when behind,
will save credit, give more time TO at
tend to business, and add to the profit
and reputation Of those who work for
gain. Be to prompt keep your word.
Honor your engagements. If You
promise to meet q man Or do a certain
thing at certain moment, be ready
at the appointed time. If you have
work to do, do it at once cheerfulIy
and therefore more speedily and cor
reetly. If you 60 out on business, at
tend promptly to the matter on hand,
then as promptly 60 about you own
business. Do not stop to tell stories
in business hours.
If you have a place Of business be
found there when wanted. No man
can get rich by sitting around stores
and saloons. Never HfOOl" on busi-
ness matters. If you have to labor
for a living, remember that one hour
in the morning is better than two at
night. If you employ others, be on
hand to see that they attend to their
duties and to direct work to advan-
tage. Have order, system, regularity,
prOmptness, liberality. No not med
die with business you know nothing
Of Never buy any article simply be-
cause the man who sells will take it
out in trade. Trade is money. Time
is money. A good business habit and
reputation is always money. Make
your place of business pleasant and at
tractive, then stay there to wait On
customers.
Never use quick words or allow
yourself to make hasty and ungentle-
manly remarks to those in your en-
plOy; fOr. to do so lessons their respect
for you and your Influence over them.
Help yourself and others viii help you.
Be faithful over the Interests eUnhded
to your keeping, and IN good time
your responsibilities viii be Increased.
Do not be in t03 great haste to get rich.
Do not build until you have arranged
and laid a good foundation. Do not
as you hope or work for success
spend time in idleness. If your time IS
your own, business will surely suffer
if you do. lift is given to another
for pay it belongs to him, and you
have no more right to steal that than
to steal money. Be obllging. Strive
to avoid harsh words and personalities.
Do not kick every stone in the path
more miles can be made in day by
going steadily on than by stopping to
kick. Pay as you go. A man Of
honor respects his word as he does his
bond. Ask, but never beg. Help
others when you can. but never give
when you cannot afford to, simply be-
cause it is fashionable. Learn to say
no. No necessity of swapping it out
dog fashion, but say it firmly and re-
spectfully. Have but few cOnfdants,
and the fewer the better. Use your
own brains rather than those Of.Others.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Be honest and vigilant. Keep ahead
rather than behind the times. Young
men, cut this out, and, if there is folly
in the argument, let Us knOW.-[U. s.
Economist.

Order for the Suppression Of the
KuIKluX Khan.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 6.-GeneraI
Sheppard, commanding the sub-district of
Alabama, to-day issued an order in rela-
ton to the Kuklux Klan, and ordering
the various officers - marshals, magis-
trates, constables, chiefs of police and
pOlice-will be held accountable by post
commanders over their respective districts,
for the suppression of the iniquitOus or
ganizatiOn and the apprehension Of its
members wherever found. When appre-
tensions are made and the code Of Ala
bama is silent on the subject of the often
ces for which charged, the prisoners will
be turned over to the commander Of the
proper military post, with view to trial
by military commission. All placards
and news paper cards of the Kuklux Klan,
are prohibited, and the Ignorance of their
existence will not be held as an adequate
excuse, it being the business of civil and
military officers to know what appertaius
to their duty. Citizens not holding office
likewise will not be held guiltless for out
RACES.

The Steam Man is no hoax. We
have seen him, steam up, legs flying,
and sfl going. A figure in human
shape, with boiler inside of him and
a FIRE blazing, has the necessary ma
chinery at his back to make his legs go
alternately, and with power sufficient
to draw as much as horse. This is a
small man. 1t may be made Of two,
three, four horse power, and move at
the rate of1O or 10 miles an hour,
with a load on a common road. This
fellow came over from Newark by the
ordinary road when the snow made
the travel Dad. The whole cost Of a
man engine, ready to draw is about
$500. It costs about fifteen cents a day
to keep him in coal, which is the only
feed he needs. If you are in Broad
way, 538, by all means step in and see
the operadon.-[N. Y. Observer.
